Expect Jimmy to go in the next couple of days.

That was my exact thought.

Man's too good a person for this not to hit him hard

Honestly with her dementia and other health issues, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was just hanging on out of sheer will to not leave her behind first.

God bless both of them, fucking awesome people, who we’d all do well to emulate.

Literally the first thing I thought when I read the headline.

It's kind of how it goes it seems. My great grandparents passed away very close together too.

I feel like the body keeps going as long as it can if it has a purpose to. That seems especially true at an old age like that.

My family calls it love adrenaline. The power of the mind is insane with some people.
