When spiritual support means so much . . .

Throughout their 57 years of marriage, Ralph would put on music every night at 10:00 and dance with his wife Madolyn. Eventually, at age 86 with advanced cancer, there came a time when Ralph was too weak to dance or leave their home. One of the things they really missed being able to do together was attending synagogue. So, one of our ordained rabbis began visiting them at home. "Ralph loved it when the rabbi came over. We sang songs from the services and said prayers together. It brought both of us so much comfort to share these moments and to be able to talk with him," Madolyn said.
