My aunt Elsie passed away this morning. Acquired pneumonia after cracking a few ribs from one of her falls. 71 years old, CAG 40. Enjoyed a cruise 3 months ago with all her kids and 8 grand kids. She will be missed.

aaww so sorry to hear this. Awsome that she got to spend that time with family. How long ago was she diagnosed? Did her HD symptoms progress fast or slow? My husband was diagnosed in Aug. of last year and it seems he is progressing so rapidly. His CAG was 43.

Diagnosed probably 4 years ago. Was walking well until 1 yr ago. Seems her loss of balance really happened quick. Many falls over past few months.
