I just read the article online about your parents.I was very touched by their story. My great grandparents also died hours apart on the same day. She was 97 and he was 99, married for 80+ years as well. We did not have time to tell my g-grandfather that granny had passed away, before he died. I believe he just knew and did not want to stay here without her. We had a double funeral and it was bittersweet. Although the pain is doubled, there is a double heavenly peace that remains. Your parents are truly a example of what marriage means....til death do you part. Keeping your family in my prayers.
