I believe every word of it. The last words spoken between my Mom and I was when I said to my Mom, I love you Mom. Or so I thought. Mom got the last word in when I thought she was gone. She cracked her eyes open and said, "I love you to son".

I also believe it. My Father-in-law also had alzheimers and just before he died knew where he was and who his wife was. Perfectly lucid.

I believe every word of it.

I was present with the family when my father in law died a few years ago. His cancer was at such an advanced state that he was nearly catatonic before he passed. In the last few minutes of his life, as his labored breathing got worse, his eyes opened fully and focused on each of us standing by his bed. They then focused on the door and he tried to speak. I remember looking behind me several times to see what was there and, of course, could not. I will forever believe that he said goodbye to all of us and greeted his "escort". I will one day have to ask him. So, yeah, I believe every word of what Nancy said and what you said, also.

I believe this is a gift of God to the surviving family. My paternal grandfather died in October 2002 at the age of 93. Other than athritis, he was healthy until 24 hours before his passing. His kidneys stopped working suddenly and his blood pressure dropped to the point where he was virtually unconscious. Just before he died, my dad says he became alert and said "take me Lord Jesus, take me." I personally think that God ushered those words as a witness to my father. His body was dying, but his spirit was quite alive.
