This was a wonderful,sad story. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful and tender love story. In a world so often filled with sadness, thank you for reminding us of the enduring quality of love.
...and know that this is what all this leads to, if we live properly and with love indeed...... Dan northdan@aol.com
What a beautiful way to live together, love together, and then to end it together with no regrets.
its a lovely story. there must be still a few of us who would like to be like that in years to come well written
any story that I've read. I find myself coming back to re-read it again and again. I guess I'm just a sucker for love. Ronnie W.
A beautiful story indeed. You can keep the cheating wives and husbands etc, there is nothing to beat a good old fashioned love story. As one who is approaching the 60th mark, still married to the girl I fell hopelessly in love with as a teenage soldier. I have long maintained that I cannot think of a better way of bringing our lives to an end than by both of us entering the next world together, hand in hand as we have been for the greater part of our lives
I soo much agree with the last commenter, this was a beautiful story and like him I want us (My wife of 45 yers) to depart to wherever together. Thank you both
Love and the mysteries there of, Life and togetherness,
Celebrated and affected. In death there will always be a beginning, after the tears. Well done on an emotional celebration of devotion and top class N.E. Story.
It's not that the conclusion is not obvious,
It's that the writing is not tedious,
In all the many guises that love displays,
The truth is always one that never dismays.
Well done!
I'm not supposed to cry reading these tales. Is such love possible? I guess you can't go by me because I never knew.

NASHPORT, Ohio (AP) — A couple who held hands at breakfast every morning even after 70 years of marriage have died 15 hours apart.
