My prayers for the souls of Mr. and Mrs. DeNittis. When a couple is married as long as they were, it's common for them to grow together so each becomes almost an organ of the other. Thus, one's death often leads very quickly to the other's death, especially when the wife predeceases her husband.

This is what Kurt Vonnegut called a “Duprass”.
When two are of like mind.

This was rather inspiring:

“the couple’s funeral took place at the same church where they were married 67 years ago”

that level of stability is rare these days

Even death couldn’t part these two for any length of time.

Awesome.

I know, deep in my heart, that the effeminate anchor of this mainstream media program will feel some everlasting love of his own next Saturday at the bath-house, between the sweaty hello and the worrying about AIDS. But God bless him, after all.

No prayers needed for them. They are the Lord’s arms together. Guarantee it. Prayers for those they left behind though.

PS If ya doubt me, take it up with me later. Much later.

This was truly a bittersweet story.

I do take some comfort in the fact that this loving couple will "never know the pain of living without each other," as the article noted. And that neither was robbed of a full lifetime (both of them making it to their mid-nineties).

Still, it is very hard not to deeply saddened by this...

What a beautiful story, not only 67 years married, but childhood sweethearts as well.

Whenever I hear stories like this, it always reminds me of the time I was at my friend’s house and we noticed a little old man pushing his little old wife in her wheel chair down their street. Her mom said, “Oh, look at that. Isn’t that nice? When we get that old, your father will probably push my wheelchair right out into traffic.”

Will and Ariel Durant were married for 68 years and died within two weeks of each other (she died Oct. 25, 1981, and he died on Nov. 7, 1981).
