After 53 years of marriage, a Texas couple died holding hands from Covid-19
Betty and Curtis Tarpley were together for most of their lives -- they went to the same high school in Illinois, met and fell in love in California as adults, got married, and raised two kids.

On June 18, after 53 years as a married couple, the two died from coronavirus within an hour of each other in a Texas hospital, spending their last moments together holding hands, their son told CNN.

Tim Tarpley said his mom, who was 80, had been sick for a few days when he took her to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth and found out she had Covid-19.

She was admitted on June 9 and his 79-year-old dad was admitted on the 11th.

2. At least they got to be together! Not isolated as so many have been and will be.

Blessings on them for their long marriage.

3. Too sad but at least they went together.

None of this had to happen.

4. My parents lived into their 90s.

I bet these people would have easily had 10 more years, if not for Trump and the GOP.

5. So sad.

Rest in peace Betty and Curtis.

6. Things are so different. This would be big in normal times, but there is no normal anymore.

I wonder if the family supports 100,000 plus dead Trump.
