I would like to dedicate this book to my grandmother, Pauline. Like most people with dementia, she was never diagnosed with this disorder. She had a history of hypertension, transient ischaemic attacks (TIA) and behaviours associated with vascular-type dementia. Despite her experiences with dementia, which affected us all, my grandmother remained a unique individual, dearly loved and respected by everyone who knew and cared for her. I would also like to dedicate this book to: My grandfather, Solomon My father, Albert My mother, Phildah My mother-in-law, Marcella My father-in-law, Fred My aunt, Noanah My aunt, Petronella A selfless generation that is irreplaceable.
