What we have always seen in the movies just happened in real life.
In several films, we have watched the heart-breaking scenes; death scenes of
deeply in love couples, especially elder couples, where one partner passes away
soon after the death of the other.
UK based couple, Mrs. and Mr. Russell just made us witness a
heart-breaking yet heart-warming moment all together. Married since years, Vera
Russell and husband Wilf Russell were being intensively taken care of 3 miles
away from each other at different institutions. Just like a climax of a novel
or a scripted movie Mr. Russell left for
heavenly abode at 6:50 am on 29th March 2017 and after 4 minutes at 6:54 am, his
wife Vera Russell died (even before she could be informed of her husband’s
death). He was 93 years old and she 91 years.
They had been married for 71 years, six months and 25 days — the
couple had met when they were 16 and 18 years old, respectively and got engaged
before Mr. Russell went to fight with the Royal Air Force during World War II,
and after his return they were married on 5th September 1945. In all these
years the couple got separated for just few months, in their old age, before
their death. At the time of their death, Wilf Russell was at Magna Care Home in
Wigston, Leicestershire, suffering from dementia, which resulted in him no
longer recognizing his wife. And wife Vera was at the nearby Leicester Royal
Infirmary having become ill since her husband stopped remembering her.
By profession he was an Engineer and she a Cake shop worker. They
leave behind three sons, five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and two
great-great-grandchildren.
They were buried side by side after a joint funeral. All this is
incredible, really very mysterious.
I am sure they will be spreading more love in Heaven.
May Their Souls Rest In Peace.
Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
