Barbara Cardarelli of Struthers chose this as her submission. “Mom and Dad, Bobbie and Stan Hewitt, taught my sisters and I the true meaning of ‘and the two shall become one.’ Mom died in 2011, three months before their 70th anniversary, yet as this picture shows, they were outwardly affectionate until the end.

Of all the photos we have of them, this one means the most to me. This is love!”
