Gordan and Norma Yeager

You may want to take a minute here, before you start reading this story to get a Kleenex.  With that, let us begin.

So seldom today we really see people honoring the vows most married people have taken, "until death do we part" but here is a story that will wet your face and tap into your heart.

Gordon (94) and Norma (90) Yeager were married on May 26, 1930, in State Center, Iowa.  They had a beautiful life together until they died together on October 12, 2011.

What a beautiful story of love and commitment but what makes this story all the more sweet is that they were holding hands when they died.  Listen to the link above to get the whole story.  It was just too beautiful for me to re-write it.

Another interesting fact that was not brought out in the story was the lapel pin I noticed Norman wearing; it is of the three crosses at Calvary.  How exciting to know that they will be spending eternity together as they professed their commitment to the cross and the saving work that was complete there by Jesus Christ.  Sure could use a few more people in this world who value marriage and their vows like Gordon and Norma did for 72 years!  Inspirational!
