Among all the evil that seems to permeate today’s world, sometimes arises an endearing story of true and everlasting love.

A California couple who spent 75 years married to each other passed away mere hours from each other, thus fulfilling their mutual promise to die peacefully and in each other’s arms.

Jeanette and Alexander Toczko, from San Diego, California, first met when they were eight years old. They got married in 1940.

He passed away on June 17 last, and she followed him less than 24 hours later.

According to their family, when Mr. Toczko passed away, his wife hugged him and said ‘You died in my arms and I love you. I love you, wait for me, I’ll be there soon.’
