They Lived Together, and Died Together...

...just 88 minutes apart.

James and Marjorie Landis of Westmont, Pa., were married for 65 years and, friends say, were almost always together.

This week, Marjorie died at age 87 and, just 88 minutes later, James, 89, also passed away, suffering from a heart attack, TheTribune Democrat says.

The newspaper quotes granddaughter Erin Miller as saying James was at his wife's side when she died on Monday.

"The last thing he said to her was, 'It's OK. I love you. We had many good years together. I will see you real soon,'" Miller says.


It's as if the husband willed himself to death, so great was his anguish at being away from his beloved wife.



What a wonderful thing, to have that powerful a love in your life.
