Eighty-four year old Sylvia knows the importance of love. Four times a week, she comes to the nursing home to visit Frank, her husband, who is in the third stage of Alzheimer's disease. She sings the love songs to him they wrote together and recalls their days of romance and fun.

Sylvia reminds us all, every person needs love and caring.
