I certainly do love, Love stories. Pictured above is the Couple who died four hours apart while holding hands. Read their story below as their daughter Sloan tells it...

Two weeks ago, Don was at home when he fell, breaking his hip. He was taken to hospital, but his health continued to decline.

‘We kept them together, and had their beds side-by-side,’ Sloan said.
‘Gram woke up and saw him, and held hands and they knew that they were next to each other.’
It wasn’t long after that, holding her husband’s hand, Maxine took her last breath.
‘I walked them out with her body, walked back in to check on grandpa and he quit breathing as soon as her body left the room,’ Sloan told KERO News.

‘He left with her, and they passed four hours apart from each other.’
‘It’s just amazing. It really is amazing. It’s a true love story.’

Don, a civil engineer in North Dakota, was stationed in Bakersfield, where he met Maxine at a bowling alley.

The two traveled the world together and adopted two songs along the way.
