It sucks that anybody has to suffer from dementia. Sympathies to the family - I'm glad she isn't suffering any longer.

I'm sorry.  Family is irreplaceable.

Damn, dementia is really horrible. RIP.

Let that put things in perspective for you. The richest man in the world (that we know of) mother died at 78 years old. I am orders of magnitudes poorer than him and my father died at 73 and my mother at 76.

And they want you to work till you're 65?

Jeff Bezos is in his 60s, and his late mom just passed at 78?

Yes she was still in high school when he was born.
