This is where YOU tell us YOUR love stories! You know, like how you met your honey… how you found true love after all this time… or maybe even how you finally got back together with the one that got away. You get the idea – whatever your "happily ever after" is, we wanna hear it!!!
This week’s story is actually one Kix found at People.com and all of us here at ACC were touched by the tale…
A very special Ohio couple, who had been married 70 years, died recently…just 15 hours apart. At the age of 92, Helen Felumlee passed away and her husband, Kenneth Felumlee, 91, soon followed the next morning.
During his life, Kenneth worked as a railroad car inspector and mechanic, eventually becoming a mail carrier and a Sunday school teacher. Meanwhile, Helen stayed at home to raise their family while also teaching Sunday school at their church. She was known for sending greeting cards with personal notes to those in their community for birthdays, holidays and more.
Helen stayed at home to take care of her family, and she also taught Sunday school, but was mostly known for her greeting card ministry…she sent cards for birthdays, sympathy, and the holidays to everyone in her community, each with a personal note inside.
The couple's eight children said that they knew when one of their parents left this earth, the other would be right behind. The couple met as teenagers and had been inseparable since. In 1944, they went across the state line so that they could elope and even once shared the bottom of a bunk bed on a ferry rather than sleeping one night apart. The pair were deeply in love until the very end.

Kix's Response:
Wow, they spent 70 of what sounds like great and loving years together and died within hours of each other?!?! That’s kind of how you want to dial it up, I guess, and I think that happens a lot when two people's hearts start beating together. My wife Barbara’s parents were married for sixty years and passed away at 90, barely three weeks apart – Love is a powerful thing!
