There is a darling little girl
She is many miles from here
she is a loving little faerie
it would break your heart to see her
her presence would remind you
of Angels in the skies
and you bet I love that little girl
with the raindrops in her eyes.

You have two questions there:

It is not uncommon for longtime married couples to die within a short period of time of one another

Thank you for posting. What a great story. I got as far as 17 years before the ex wanted some different wiener.

That was a great movie. I own it on DVD and probably should watch it again this weekend.

Beautiful. Stories like these give me hope. My thoughts to the children and grand children. They had incredible parents.
