Klamath Falls, OR. It's the closest town to us. About 25 miles. It's where we do All our shopping.

I've seen many a headstones where long term married couples where one partner passes in most cases is followed shortly thereafter by the one left behind. (Clements headstones)
Perhaps ringing truth into a "Broken Heart" can do you in! a sad thing it is.

There doesn't seem to be much left if your life partner isn't there to share it. Not looking forward to it.

Happened to the couple next door. She died at 95 and he within a couple months at 103. He had a DFC and she had a full rack from fueling aircraft on airfields...in WW2. I still miss them.

One does hear of it regarding couples who have been together for a long time.
