Title: Deciphering medical term.
Post by: SnowyHog on Monday 23 February 26 12:04 GMT (UK): Hello,

I am trying to decipher the medical term used for my Great x 2 Grandmothers death, I can make out Decay of, but cant be certain after that. Can anyone offer any suggestions please?

Post by: SnowyHog on Monday 23 February 26 12:40 GMT (UK): Many thanks for the repiles, the curl under the first letter threw me slightly, so I thought it was a Y or G. My Great x2 Grandmother was only 62, so had been ill for 4 years.

I wonder if it was early onset dementia (Alzheimer's disease) then?
