Final Farewell

Mattie Loveless's friend Rosemarie Flint comforts her as she leaves her home for the last time. She was forced to leave her home and enter a nursing home because of Ohio's medical funding laws. She needed partial in-home nursing care, but was forced to move into a more expensive nursing home.
