So sad - prayers sent for the family.

Sad but also sweet....they are together in heaven now !

They were older, had been married for 64 years, lived long/fulfilling lives. He had alzheimers and would've been even more lost without her while she would have had to watch him fade away. Instead they died in each other's arms. I think it's much sweeter than sad.

That is so sad.

I want to personally thank Tanya for ruining my day.

Totally agree. I would bet both of them would have preferred this over just about anything else. It still makes me tear up, though.

It's not her fault. The daughter is a friend of hers - she's going to the funeral today.

From the standpoint of the couple, yes, this is the best way for them to go - together. However, the children are the ones who lost both parents at the same time, unexpectedly. That is the sad part.

Oh, I know. I was just trying to lighten to mood. I didn't realize they were friends. Sorry.

The service was beautiful. I can see both sides here, but I am daughter, and if I lost both of my parents at the same time, you would have to lock me up for a long while. But yea, in a way it is bitter sweet.
