Aunt Helen & Uncle Joe *RIP*

My husband's dear aunt and uncle. So happy that I had these two beautiful people in my life. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

What a wonderfully written obit and a wonderful story. I almost find it a blessing they went so close together and will have the same funeral. TY for their story...you were blessed to have them in your life.

Blessings to all of you. I read this story and shared with my DH. ""Call me home"" made me cry. What a wonderful love story.

There was a BEAUTIFUL funeral yesterday for them. Military honors, bagpipes, etc. It was very overwhelming emotionally. We also feel that it was a blessing that neither one had to live without the other.

Oh my my my. You and your family should celebrate this wonderful couple, not mourn. This is the stuff of fairy tales . . . "they lived happily ever after."
