Morris and Ida Cohen were married for more than 62 years. They were originally from theUkraineand arrived in the States immediately after the war. Their three sons born inAmericaare successful married professionals; all have children of their own.
About a year ago Ida passed away and soon after Morris became weaker and weaker. It was as if he had lost the will to live.
