[b]A couple who were married 59 years died last month holding hands in their shared hospital room. Don and Margaret Livengood, ages 84 and 80, charmed the workers at Carolinas Healthcare NorthEast, so someone pulled strings to let the ailing husband and wife share their last days together in the same room.[/b]

[b]Nurses positioned the couple's beds to face each other, so that they were holding hands as Margaret passed just before 8am on August 19.
That afternoon at 5.19pm, her husband followed her in death, telling his children and grandchildren before he died that he was looking forward to joining his wife in heaven.
The couple met while working at the same company, and were married on June 15, 1957[/b]
