Jeez, that's rough. Thoughts and prayers to the Flutie family.

It is with a heavy heart that I am making this statement. This morning my family experienced the tragic loss of my father, Dick and mother, Joan. My Dad had been ill and died of a heart attack in the hospital and my Mom, less than an hour later had a sudden heart attack and passed away. They say you can die of a broken heart and I believe it. I would like to honor my parents for all that they did throughout my and my brothers’ and sister’s lives. My parents were always there for their children, from the days my Dad coached us as kids and my Mom would work the concession stands, through to this morning. The most important part of their 56 years of marriage was providing opportunities to their children. They were incredible parents and Grandparents and my family and I will miss them both. On behalf of me and the entire Flutie family, I would like to thank you all for your well wishes and prayers during this difficult time.

my goodness. That is so sad. Poor guy. I know if I lose one of my parents, I'm going to heavily rely on the other and vice versa.

Truly sad. I mean one can point out the benefit of a dual funeral but I wouldn't do that at this time.

I bet if you polled most couples that have been married that long to the same person, they'd pick to go together like that. But man, that has got to be brutal on the family.

Yep. They could even go in the same coffin.

Probably the one thing that would stop most couples from picking that. Maybe if they didn't have any family to leave behind...

That's a sad and happy story at the same time. It's terrible for the family, but pleasing because one doesn't have to live without the other after 56 years.

Wouldn't have thought to look there.

Flutie is all class and I hope he gets through this rough time. Prayers sent.
