And not just her mind, but her hearing and her memory to the ravages of time and Alzheimer’s, her gallery to an expanding hotel and the patience of her family as they try desperately to care for her as her condition deteriorates. Indeed, as her grandson Daniel describes it, Gladys Green’s family must watch as her mind, like everything else in her life, is “smashed to pieces” and her body becomes a mere shell of what...
