If this isn't true love then we don't know what it is.High school sweethearts Leonard and Hazel Cherry passed away last Thursday just hours apart,a sweet ending to their 74year together.
The couple were married in 1942 in Muldoon,Texas.Following their wedding ceremony at the start of World War Ⅱ,Leonard enlisted in the Army Air Corps and became a B24 bomber pilot.Luckily for the couple,he was never far from home as he was stationed at Carswell Army Air Corps Base in Fort Worth training others how to fly.Meanwhile,Hazel was a stayathome mom taking care of their only son,David.Once the war was over,Leonard worked as an auto body repairman in Fort Worth before opening an auto repair business in 1949,which the couple ran together for 31 years.The couple finally moved to Woodstock,Texas in 1980 to be close to their son and grandchildren.
In their final days,Leonard who was 95,was placed at the St.Catherine Center,a hospice in Waco,Texas,while 93yearold Hazel,who was in good health,had just moved into the village at Providence Park,a facility right next door to her husband's.
Then on October 27,Leonard passed away just before 1 p.m. and his wife died just 10 hours later at 11 p.m.
“Every time I began to think about it,I began to smile because of how much they loved each other.In my mind my grandfather was waiting for her in heaven with open arms,” Craig Cherry told KWTX.“Even in his ninetyfifth year,he still,when he talked about her,had a sparkle in his eye.A memorial service for them is scheduled for this Friday and I'm sure there won't be a dry eye in the house.”
