I didn't really know them but saw her pushing him in his wheelchair for a walk. Sometimes I would see them having dinner in the restaurant.

I can understand that she must have been very stressed out taking care of him, but she could have gotten help to relieve some of the burden. Unfortunately, they moved so far away from their kids that they could not have help them.

This development is nearly all retired Seniors and Snowbirds. Why did they need to have a gun in their home? We've lived here for 6 years and there has not been one single break in.

They like to say that guns in your home make you safer. Apparently, not from your spouse.
