Elly: We took Dad to see her, John. She looked like she was sleeping. Dad held her hand. The nurse asked if she should take off Mom's wedding band, but he said "no." He said they were poor when he bought it - but he told Mom she could have any ring in the store. It was 1946. She chose the cheapest one. It cost ten dollars... But when he put it on her finger - it was priceless.
