WHITE PLAINS, Westchester County (WABC) -- A woman was able to reunite with her husband for their first in-person visit since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Harriet and Jerry Shenkman were finally able to be together in the same room Wednesday at The Bristal at White Plains.
"It's been quite an experience, and not something I'd ever imagine in my lifetime," Harriet said.
Overcoming the dual challenge of a pandemic and cognitive decline, Jerry has spent the last three years battling Alzheimer's disease.
Although the debilitating disease has robbed most of the 80-year-old's memories forged during 58 years of marriage, he hasn't forgotten his wife.
