Stephanie Rutkowske said in her post:

"Together for 62 years here on earth and now they will continue to share their love in Heaven. My papa and nanny both passed away today holding each other's hands a little over an hour apart. What a blessing for them to be able to go together! Thank you for all your prayers!"

Granddaughter, Liz Nichols, also posted about her sweet grandparents.

According to reports, Tom and Delma Ledbetter passed away in late April in Lake Jackson, Texas.

The couple died less than an hour apart from one another.
