Some say that marriage between a husband and wife is predestined and meant to be. This is so true for this elderly couple, who loved and cherished each other in sickness and in health, till death did them part.

Tom, 84, and Delma Ledbetter, 82, a married couple of 62 years, took their last breaths together on their deathbeds, dying hand in hand in a nursing home on April 21, 2017. Tom passed away first, subsequently followed by Delma one and a half hours later.
