A north Alabama family is trying to pick up the pieces after six children lost their parents to separate circumstances in the same weekend.
Jennifer and Toby Norsworthy were known as a loving and generous couple who put their family above all else. That family is quite extensive, with many of them traveling to Huntsville to be with them during this time.
"Toby and Jennifer were all about family," said his mother, Tami Norsworthy.
Jennifer Norsworthy, 40, had a history of blood clots. The family said one formed in her sleep last Friday. She was rushed to Madison Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Toby succumbed to a heart attack in his sleep early last Sunday. His sister, Tabitha Washburn, suspects it was from the stress of losing his wife.
He was pronounced dead at the same hospital. Washburn said the same doctor and nurse worked on both him and Jennifer.

It’s already been documented that some married couples die within a few hours or days of each other; because they cannot bear to be apart. And, usually they die of natural causes.
Can someone tell me what ‘a history of blood clots’ means medically? What would be wrong with you to have multiple blood clots?
What a sad story.
