What if losing someone wasn’t about the goodbye, but the silence after the memories?

Frances' mindset is simple but powerful: live and let others live without passing judgment. What she loves most about this stage of life is the ability to share experiences and perspectives, and discovering how our lifestyles differ. #olderamericansmonth

Rest in peace, Edith Smith, who passed away at the age of 111. She was a participant in the University of Chicago’s internationally acclaimed SuperAgers study, a term defined by scientists at the Healthy Aging & Alzheimer’s Research Center (HAARC). “The word ‘can’t’ was not in her vocabulary.”
