Alexander and Jeanette Toczko, an elderly married couple from California, died within a day of each other while clutching each other closely. They had been married for 75 years, and their love for one other had never waned. Aimee Toczko-Cushman, their daughter, caught the tender moment of their final hug.
Alexander and Jeanette met when they were eight and married in 1940. They are both 95 years old now. Alexander recently fractured his hip and became bedridden, and Jeanette grew ill. A hospice supplied unique beds where they could lie together and hold each other to care for them.
