Such a sad end to a wonderful couple.

How sad.

this is very sad, but I'm finding the story is too invasive for public notice. I understand it's part of a police investigation.

A very sad ending to an otherwise great lifetime. Demented and dying all alone … No other family members involved? That's the really sad part.
