In this November 2019 photo provided by Sue Wagener shows Jack and Harriet Morrison. The couple who had been together for nearly 65 years have died on the same day at a St. Louis area nursing home. The Morrison's beds were placed next to each other in their final hours, allowing them to hold hands, the†St. Louis Post-Dispatch†reports.†86 year-old Jack died first. Harriett, who was 83, died later on Jan. 11 2020.
Jack and Harriet Morrison’s beds were placed next to each other in their final hours, allowing them to hold hands, the“I’m sad. But I know they’re at peace and they’re back together,” said Sue Wagener, a niece raised by the Morrisons. “It truly was a love story for the books.” They met as Harriett accompanied her father on a trip with the drum and bugle corp he played in. Jack was behind the wheel of a charter bus that drove the group to some of its concerts.They were active Moolah Shriners, a fraternal order devoted to philanthropy, and traveled the world next to each other, often on Shrine-related trips, including to Europe and Australia.About a year ago, Harriet tripped while walking their dog, breaking her pelvis and hip, Wagener said.
I’m so happy for both of them. They held hands going to Heaven. I can personally tell you how it’s hard not to die of a broken heart ... 💔💔💔
😢
RIP Folks.😢
That is an eternal love RIH
BurrellTV My dad passed 3 weeks after my mom on her birthday. Definitely not a coincidence. He was healthy. Doctors were surprised. We weren’t.
Wow
My wish for my wife and I

Happens MORE THAN PEOPLE THINK! LOOK DEBBIE REYNOLDS & CARRIE FISHER THEY DIED WITHIN 1-2 DAYS APART! DEBBIE WILLED HERSELF TO A STROKE SHORTLY AFTER TELLING HER SON TODD FISHER SHE WANTED TO BE WITH CARRIE THEY WERE TOGETHER MOST PART ALL OF CARRIES LIFE BECAUSE OF HER ILLNESS
True love ❤️
D E S T I N Y .. they are together up there in heaven too.
What a beautiful love story.
How come
We have no clue of the power of the soul, and how it interconnects us with not only those who we are closest to, but to every human being. And to pass this off as empathy, or compassion, or a broken heart, is to deny that we are forever beings, forever intertwined.
I don't want to live if my spouse dies
So early...
Hmmm my heartfelt condolences to the family members and may their gentle souls rest in perfect peace
What a wonderful way to go. 💞
💔😢🙏🏼
I love seeing stories like this. 💗🥺
Bless them🙏

Sort of beautiful
My mom passed away 3 years to the day of my dad. Today is her birthday. Happy birthday to a beautiful lady.
This is sad but the nursing home will have those beds filled by the end of this coming week like it never happened. seen it dozens of times. same mattresses too unless they had their own and the fam picks them up.
1. They were both old. 2. Being really old greatly increases your chances of death. 3. Coincidences happen. End of story. I hope they lived a happy life together.

I’m hoping to check out before my wife. I’ll finally go on vacation
😢
My MIL used to talk about a couple in her neighborhood that died on the same day. She loved that idea. Alas she passsed away 5 months after my FIL. I am convinced from a broken heart.
May their souls rest in peace. God bless them.
Even death couldn't do them apart aaww
This is a story that can prove God has a plan after all😔😐😏
sad...but heartwarming too.....
It might sound very strange to some of you when I say this but, good for them, neither one of them have to mourn the lose of each other, if you are a believer in Christianity, they went to heaven together and I think that's wonderful
😢
She won't even give this poor man peace after he's dead...just like a woman...
I wouldn't want to live a day without my beloved either TrueLove Soulmate
At least one didn’t have to carry on for long missing the other.
Cool!
Now that's the real couple.
well they didn't have to deal with years of lament.
Beautiful. 🙏🏻💕
Awwwwww! 🙏🏼🥰❤️😘
I’m not crying, you’re crying. choppingonions
