“She pulled me aside six months ago and said, ‘When I go to check your dad’s vitals, your mom’s will be neck-in-neck with his,’” Helen Iris told TODAY. “She had never seen anything like it in her career.” Donnie, who is one of six siblings, said he could not imagine his parents’ story ending any other way.“Mom and Dad held hands wherever they went. That’s what they were known for in town,” Donnie, 66, said. “They held hands in their sleep.”
"It embarrassed me when I was a teenager," Helen Iris admitted."But when I got older, I was like, 'How precious.'" Marilyn explained to her children that it was because the decorated Army veteran was gone so often. Herbert served during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.“My mother said she was going to hold on to him when he was home,” Donnie told TODAY. “So that was their thing.”“We can’t be sad,” Donnie said. “Now they’re in heaven holding hands.”
