Sad and sweet!

Who says marriages don't last? A couple married for 72 years died one hour apart in a Des Moines, Iowa hospital last week as they held hands.


94-year-old Gordon Yeagar and his wife, 90-year-old Norma, were critically injured in a car accident last week. At the hospital, nurses kept the couple side-by-side where they held hands.

Gordon died at 3:38 p.m. still holding hands with his wife. As a result, his heartbeat was still showing up on the monitor after he stopped breathing. Norma died exactly an hour later.
