It was a bittersweet moment, since her dementia prevented her from knowing who it was she was meeting.  She would have been so pleased to know that her husband’s name is living on to the fourth generation.

Here she is with James Jr., James III and now James IV:

She may not have known his name…but I think she felt his love.
