Married couples vow to stay together until “death do us part.” But when one of them is at a healthcare facility, they have to sleep apart.  Thanks to the efforts of two devoted wives - Barb Rhame and Marilyn Cash Gooding -  who lost their husbands - Bob and Ken, respectively - that situation is beginning to change at Mercy with the addition of some double hospital beds.
