For almost 70 years, Ted and Fern Hanwick were inseparable. Now, they're that way forever. In the end, they didn't even spend a day apart.
"They were soul mates, and they were linked at the heart," says their daughter, Linda Putnam. "They could just never be apart."
They were 95, and Ted went first. Went ahead, that is. The family says Ted would want to be sure everything was ready before Fern came along.
