laura walker says she learned that years ago when her late husband roger lost his job as a machinistused to be anything else. >> i watched what he went through by not making the concessions, by not making the changes. he didn't go back to school. he wasn't willing to think outside of the box. >> he couldn't find full-time work for six years. then he was hired again and given business cards and a lapel pin by his new company. before his first day on the new job, he had a heart attack. >> and i went to the hospital and i went in, and i was so surprised, and you know what the first thing he said to me was? "what about...my job?" [laughs] the first thing he said to me: "what about my job?" that's a hard thing to take. and then he died sunday morning, and i was there holding his hand when he died. and at the funeral, at the visitation, i took that card, that business card with that lapel pin, and i put it on his chest so everyone could see, and before they closed the casket, i slipped it in his hand, 'cause he was so proud that he finally had that job. i don't want that to happen to anybo
