dementia, then Alzheimer’s. After she died my aunt, her daughter, came down with it. It took my aunt 14-15!years to die. “The Long Goodbye” indeed! My mother, on the other hand didn’t ever come down with dementia, and she just turned 90 when she died. Hopefully I’ll take after Mom. At 60 I feel like I’m turning into my mother. LOL!! My mother, unlike me, had never used cannabis in any form. 🤔🤪
