'Til Death Do Us Part: Couple Married for 65 Years Die Hours Apart

An Ohio couple married for 65 years died on the same day earlier this month ... and the timing is no coincidence, according to their loved ones. The grandson of the couple say the family credits their faith in God for the “shocking” timing.

Jeff Simon, 20, shared his grandparents' love story on Fox and Friends this morning, saying that Ruth, 89, and Harold “Doc” Knapke, 91, met in the third grade and were rarely seen without the other, dying just hours apart on August 11.

"They knew each other their whole lives and were devout Catholics their whole lives ...and I think their relationship with God really strengthened their own relationship, and you really saw it until the end," Simon said.

What a beautiful example to their family and friends, along with many memories.

God blesses certain people as they themselves worked so hard to bless each other and their God. Their heaven will be being reborn again in the same hospital in the same ward with brand new bodies, and they will meet again! Heaven at it's finest!

I mean, where else would a human spirit wish to be, but to be here enjoying warmth, sunshine, water, love, food, and all the bounty He gives us!

Praise God and his works!

God brings couples closer with His love. If they are believers together they will have a loving life together.

Three of you must be drinking the Kool-Aid. Funny how it is 3:16 that nailed it.
