With Last Kiss, Widow Dies at Spouses Coffin...
This is probably the most touching story I've ever read...

"After 64 years of marriage, Mary Evancho Laborde couldn't bear to let her husband go..."

3. Can you imagine...65 years
in love with one person. They married before World War II began.

They are truly an inspiration...

7. My favorite is the 14th Book...
Title: "What Can a Thoughful Man Hope for Mankind on Earth, Given the Experience of the Last Million Years?"

Only Verse: Nothing...

6. Nice story....ummm.....when I played at a
"senior citizen center" (for free) 2 years ago I met a couple who were
married for 82 years ....she was 96..he was 97.
They would dance up a storm..... incredible!

I talked to the husband during one of the bands breaks and he leaned over smiled while saying:
"We're not really married...We just thought we would try each other out for a while before really making a commitment!! "

I laughed my ass off!
