A story better told without comment:
After 64 years of marriage, Mary Evancho Laborde couldn't bear to let her husband go.
She said that just before she leaned over Raymond Laborde's casket at his funeral this week to kiss him goodbye a final time.
But the sorrow was too much; the 89-year Hueytown woman's heart stopped and she died right there.
On Thursday, Raymond, 88, and Mary were buried together in much the same way they lived - side by side, only inches apart.
'It's almost like a fairytale, a sad fairytale,' said the Rev. Jack Hendricks Jr. of First United Methodist Church in Hueytown. 'You don't see many people who live together as long as they did that go out together."
