Add to SetSummary
Clara and Henry Ford leave Christ Church in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, following funeral services for their son, Edsel Ford. Though their relationship had grown more strained as Henry and Edsel grew older, Henry was devastated by Edsel's death. It caused a tension in Clara and Henry's marriage that would heal, and a decline in Henry's own health that would not.
