Husband and Wife Die Moments Apart After 59-Year Marriage

Love knows no bounds...what's wrong with his eyes though?

Okay call me a romantic, a big softy, a faggot, but this is sweet and touching.  This is the kind of love Justice and I have for each other.  We’ve made an agreement that if we don’t die together in our bloody death pact warm, loving relationship then whoever does die first has to come back and visit the other one on a daily basis.  It’s a sweet, morbid love we share.

Anyway, this past Saturday, an elderly couple in a Florida nursing home, who were said to be deeply in love with one another, passed away within moments of one another.

For 59 years, James and Lolie Brackin epitomized love and marriage, their children said.  After eloping in the back of a dump truck when Lolie was 16, the two spent the rest of their lives together, doing everything together…apparently. (KIDDING!)

“We’re going to miss them terribly, but we’re glad this happened the way it did,” their eldest of four daughters, Carol Gruver, told a local newspaper.

James served more than 25 years in the Army, including tours in Vietnam and Korea however the separation didn’t appear to diminish their affections for one another.  The Brackins were seen holding hands all the time and they called each other “honey” so often one of their grandchildren thought that was James’ name.  Lolie Brackin never liked going anywhere alone, and he was always with her, their family said.

Both James and Lolie had their share of health problems.  He lived with one of their daughters, while she remained in a nursing home however James had begun to grow weaker and on Friday he moved into the nursing home with Lolie.  The two spent one last night together before both passing away.  He was 79, she 76.

Their joint funeral service was scheduled for today Wednesday, Dec. 16th.
