Then, 82 year-old Floreen died while holding the hand of her beloved, 83 year-old Ed. He passed away only hours later.

Ed was a gentleman for Floreen his entire life… and up to the very end. He let her pass away quietly first, before letting go himself. He was so sweet to his wife that their families called him “Saint Edward.”

Their families gave them a heartwarming joint funeral, on the eve of Valentine’s Day, at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church. Floreen and Ed’s undying love is an inspiration. When you find that special person in life that you love, never let go.

  1. Tears flowed as I read it. They were lucky in many ways, as I am witnessing what happens when someone of 57 years of married life dies and her partner is left floundering without her.

  2. How I would love for my children and grandchildren to have a story such as this to remember their parents/grandparents by. I had tears in my eyes as I read it, having been married myself for over thirty years, I hope I am blessed when the time comes to experience love quite literally, ‘for as long as we both shall live’. Beautiful.
