Howard, 92, from Sarasota in Florida, sings "their love song", "You’ll Never Know" by Rosemary Clooney, to Laura, 93 as she lies in her hospice bed. Erin writes that the song is particularly special to the pair as it used to comfort Laura while Howard was away fighting in World War II:

"At family gatherings, it was not uncommon for the two of them to sing this song together, each taking a verse and serenading the other. In fact, after fifty years of marriage, they renewed their vows and performed this song as a duet for the entire family at the reception.

"Sadly, Grandma is now too weak to sing, but that doesn’t stop her from saying the words to him (see at 1:00). Howard then takes over for her and sings the rest of the song to her while stroking her face."

Laura who has macular degeneration and cannot see, heard Howard enter the room and asked if she could hold him.

Erin says that "Grandpa cannot stand on his own, but he immediately pulled his wheelchair close to her bed ready to make it happen".
