Del Martin dies

Farewell Del, A wonderful life, a fantastic achievement.
55 years together with the love of your life is an achievement that most heterosexual couples would be happy with.

My condolences to your wife of 55 years, Phyllis. I can't imagine how you rearrange your life after that.

Very sad

 

[Belegon]

It's always sad to see people so much in love parted. I hope that somewhere, somehow, they will be reunited.



Edited to add:
However, despite the sadness of her loss... how thrilled would she be to read her own obituary, which says at the bottom...

She is survived by her wife.

THAT is a legacy.

How wonderful that she lived long enough to be able to marry her partner.

Read this today, Mat. Brought a tear to my eye. At least she got to marry before she died.

At least she got to marry before she died.

Agreed.
