I've created a film that expresses the essence of who she was as a person on this journey. In the film, images of her in her youth as well as in later years as a healthy and active woman contrast to her later life in a nursing home. The film images span her lifetime and expose the essence of her human spirit - a spirit constant and immune to the ravages of Alzheimer's disease. 'A Marvelous Journey' explores the nature of her soul. Written by
