Man! (I mean "Woman!" (snicker, snicker! ;-) I'm a sucker for a true love story and I just found the ultimate one: Joanne Siegel, 2nd wife of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel died...'Valentine's Day!' The irony of it all:
Joanne was Jerry's inspiration to create 'Lois Lane.' Didn't know that you dudes were actually enjoying a 'Romance' genre comic and later flick, did you now, Boys?! ;-) SWEET!
The other sweet thing? Jerry met Joanne, in the 30's and they didn't marry until 1948 so...sweet that they were, eventually, able to get together! And...it seemed to "stick" because they were together until Jerry passed on in 1999 (some articles had 1996 as the year but, apparently, 1999 was the year he actually passed on!)! Anybody count the duration of that marriage? 51 years, people! Wonderful! A length of time almost unheard of, in this day and age!
At any rate, here are a couple of articles:
