Maintaining the connection to his tools was a way for Dave to keep his brothers memory alive. And the tools built new memories too. They helped Dave, now 80, repair

12、his home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he and his wife, Annette Merry, lived for 46 years and raised three children. The tools were placed in his carefully organized workshop. “I had a whole set-up, and it was beautiful,” says Dave. But then Annette suffered a disease that left her relying on a walk

13、er to get around and the Merrys decided to move into assisted living. Daves workshop was obviously a minor consideration given Annettes condition, but the family knew that giving it up, on top of everything else, would hurt.
