35 kilos !!! That is NOTHING ! I think Yar was maybe around 45kilos at aged 93 but she was only 4'9" so she was short.   
Good news about Larry's reports.

So was Mom, she was probably about Yar's height, she had shrunk so much and had the dowager's hump.

Oh Yar was always short, under 5 foot but she did seem to get shorter as she got older ! She did not have a dowager's hump though.  She had to be quite straight to push her walker !

My Dad was 5 ft. 11 in. and Mom at her prime was 5 ft. 3 in. so yes, Susie and I got our height from our Dad though 5 ft. 11 in. wouldn't be considered all that tall now.  Back then, I imagine he would have been considered tall.  Larry didn't pass any tall genes onto our kids.  Tim was 5 ft. 9 and Tom is 5ft 8 and Pam is 5ft 5.    I have shrunk an inch so I'm 5 ft 6 now.  I think everyone shrinks as they age, at least if they live very long.

You actually start to shrink quite early, it's a very slow degeneration though. I don't believe I can shrink much more

I suppose you do but I hadn't noticed it much until fairly recently, the last few years but then I'm older than you two.  How much have you shrunk now Darien?

Yes 5'11"was quite tall back in the day. We don't have any tall genes to pass on either. My Dad was about 5'8 and Mum just about 5'.  John is only about 5'9" and ! am 5'3"and NO I am not getting shorter YET !!!!! Actually I have not been measured for .. years ! Dan must be about 5'10 and Matt maybe an inch taller. Annie is 5'4 she says, taller than me ... only just ! You are still the tallest of us three anyway Linda :)

I doubt  you are old enough to have shrunk very much Darien, I didn't notice it until I was well into the 70's.   So you two are saying you are short ARSES?     I'll type it out and see if "they" let me write that slightly off color word.
