Married for 67 years, Floyd and Violet Hartwig died this month within hours of one another, lying side by side and holding hands. "I think that's what kept them going," said Donna Scharton,the Hartwig's daughter. "They didn't want to go without each other."

Floyd died first. Five hours later, Violet passed.

Their deaths followed many years of illness. But their long relationship was one built on romantic letters.

"Hi honey. Miss you darling and so in love with you," Floyd wrote Violet from the Pacific in May 1947, while serving in the Navy during World War II. Both born in Fresno, they'd known each other since elementary school but didn't fall in love with each other until the 1940s.

"Honey, I'll sure be glad when I get out of this," Floyd's letter continued, "It sure isn't for me, though at one time I thought the Navy was very good. That was before I fell in love with the sweetest girl in the world."

The couple was married Aug. 16, 1947.
