Shattering the Constraints of Aging

Age Song | April 29 2012 | Matt Perry, Freelance Writer, California Health Report

As Fred Olson’s body is wheeled out of AgeSong, the senior community’s founder Nader Shabahangi is offered a basket with red and white flower petals. Shabahangi solemnly sprinkles the colorful petals on the white sheet that covers Olson’s body.

When the San Francisco County medical examiner’s van drives off, Shabahangi steps inside the brightly lit lobby of the Hayes Valley residence for an impromptu remembrance. As staff members hug residents, Olson’s generosity and unique personality are recalled fondly – especially his pink wallet. A memorial service is scheduled two days later. Shabahangi’s eyes well up with tears, clearly affected by Olson’s passing. READ ENTIRE ARTICLE: http://www.healthycal.org/archives/7668
