Enter Elly
Elly Barnes, 96, lives in a rural Alaskan community. Because she was reared nearby, she never felt the urge to leave. She adored both the location and her 72-year-old husband, Peter. Elly liked relaxing on the veranda with Peter and soaking in the scenery when the weather permitted. Her idyllic life, however, was about to be turned upside down.
An Unfortunate Event
Peter suffered in the hospital for some time before passing away one day. Elly was taken aback. Despite their advanced age, she had never seriously contemplated Peter dying before them. He had always been in greater physical shape than she was. What would she do without him?
