Klein is an 86-year-old man whose wife died of heart disease 2 months ago. He has two adult children, both of whom visit him regularly. He also has a very supportive pastor, Mr. Owens, who meets him in the park to share stories. Mr. Owens is 30 years old and has been raising his 5-year-old daughter alone for the past 6 months since his wife died suddenly in an automobile accident. His parents and siblings live out of state. Each man misses his wife very much.
