February 25, 2025M. I'm not ready to die yet but I am an older adult *widow (my parents lived their final years in the Towers and loved it and I would like to do the same. I lived the first 20 years of my life in Rockford. I'm in a very nice retirement home in Battle Creek now,, but it's just not "home" and I'm ready to come home.
