She clearly didn't have enough influence over her husband to get him to do the right thing at that time.
Perhaps time and increasing insanity and dementia from "47", and pethaps some pressure from those clise to him like his wife, will make Mitch actually do the right thing on his way out.
I wouldn't bet more than $1 on it, but...
I'm always trying to find some reasons to be hopeful...
