Chance learned to care for his paralyzed wife and did everything to take care of her-only the power of love could make that possible. Against all odds, they were able to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary. They continued visiting doctor after doctor and hospital after hospital, searching for a way to keep Ann alive. Finally, they had success with Barnes Jewish Hospital and the doctors from Washington University in St. Louis, who were able to stabilize Ann's condition and stop her disease from progressing further. Regardless of the challenges, they were able to maintain a somewhat normal life together. Then, without any warning, Ann suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and passed away, leaving Chance alone and lost. Chance and Ann's good friend, Susan O'Hara, had lost her husband over eighteen years before Ann passed away. After Susan lost her husband, she went to college, earned her degree, and graduated summa cum laude. Susan vowed never to get married again.
