George Rodriguez was working as a butcher at Tony’s Meat
Market on Culebra Road in San Antonio when he met Ora Lee. After he served in
the Marine Corps, George came home to San Antonio to marry his sweetheart. George
and Ora Lee raised three daughters together. On June first they celebrated
their fifty-eighth wedding anniversary. July 5th George passed away peacefully
in his sleep. Three hours later his bride joined him. If this sounds familiar, it may be because I’ve written here before about couples who seem to depart mortality together. It’s a phenomenon that fascinates
me. Stories like George and Ora Lee’s remind me of a quote from one of my
favorite movies, Notting Hill: “Some people do spend their whole lives
together.”
