Age, having taken sight, sound,
and taste,
cannot claim her spirit,
nor diminish her love.

Yes. The spirit survives the body and you are fortunate to have one who knows she is more than her flesh. When it comes time to lie it down and move on, may you be able to hold her hand and love her all the more.
Peace & Light,
