Marvin L. Shephard, 89, talks to Joann Shepard, his wife of 62 years, through a nursing home window in early spring 2020, shortly after quarantine began. The family hung notes on the window and used a walkie-talkie to be with the 89 year old on his last days. He died of coronavirus at the end of April. Photo courtesy of Cindy Wechter.
