I read about this a few days ago
It sounds like they had a great life together and now will be together once again
Reading this reminded me of a customer/friend I had who passed away about 25 yrs ago
He was in his 80's when he died
An avid collector of post cards stamps and postal cancellations his collection was huge. I attribute alot of my knowledge of Post Cards to him He was a fantastic source of knowledge about them and we spent hours at a time discussing them
Actually he talked and I listened and absorbed information most of the time. We used to meet at a Mall I would buy coffeee ask a question and then listened A half hr later would ask another and listen again and so on
A very private man he was a tough duck to get to know. It was understandable he lived a rough life as a young person and did not trust alot of people. I knew him for 2 yrs before he said more than Hi to me
He was a Barnardo Child (Brought to Canada From England as an orphan by Dr Barnardo Homes)
He met his wife through the Barnardo Homes (she was a Barnardo Child too) grew up close to where she lived and they married in their early 20's
Never having children it was the two of them neither having family they knew of
I never met her She was more private than him and preferred to live her life quietly with him
the times he spoke of her I could sense the love they had They meant everything to each other
His wife who was a few yrs younger was diagnossed with unoperable Cancer Those of us who knew him wondered how he would live without her
It came to the point the Drs gave her a week or so to live. He had always been a very healthy man until he received that news. he suffered a Heart Attack survived a few days and passed away. His wife passed a day or so later
Who knows if this was the way it was meant to be but this couple who were everything to each other lived their lives together in love and left basically together
