“She passed away on July 16. Les died the following day — he never knew about his wife’s death. They were 94 years old.”

Somehow, this doesn’t surprise me. There are so many examples, for instance, of dogs who pass away not long after their masters do.
There have been experiments where researchers found that dogs can tell when their owners leave work—even at times that aren’t the usual time. The dogs start pacing, etc... They just know, just as this man felt his wife’s passing.
The bonds of affection can sometimes be so strong. May we all be fortunate enough to experience that at some point in our lives.
The loving couple is now reunited in Heaven.

An aunt and uncle of mine were married for 47 years and they died 2-months apart. This couple reminded me of them.
“She passed away on July 16. Les died the following day — he never knew about his wife’s death. They were 94 years old.”
Personally, I am glad he never knew. It would have been horrible for him I would imagine. Both dying the same day and time may have been better, but this was pretty perfect.
