It's a story about high school sweethearts who left the world the same way they lived it - together.
George and Ora Lee Rodriguez celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary on June 1, 2016. The two met in San Antonio and it was a love that never faded.
"He was working as a butcher, at Tony's Meat Market on Culebra, he met her there," recalls daughter Corina Martinez.
George was a Marine and after serving, the two got married and lived in their home on the city's west side raising three beautiful daughters. Both developed dementia and a few months ago, George suffered a stroke.
Tuesday, George passed away in his sleep.
"We have them here at the house, in their hospital beds, right beside each other," said Corina.
Just three hours later, Ora Lee passed as well, surrounded by their children, grandchildren and great great-grandchildren.
"They were holding hands," said Corina. "My mother would always say that she was going to take my father or vise versa, and it did happen. We didn't think it would, but it did."
George was often seen with a hat on and his daughters say he wouldn't take it off until it was time for bed. He also loved his boots.
A life full of memories that this family will never let fade away.
George and Ora Lee Rodriguez were both 78 years old.
