Moodbidri, May 28: While exchanging wedding vows, couple take oath to follow each other through trials and tribulations, and remain compatible throughout their lives. Rarely do they sincerely follow these vows after the marriage ceremony.
However, Angara Shetty, a centenarian from Daregudde Padubettu near here, kept his wedding promise. His wife, Narsi Shedthi (90), breathed her last at around 3.30 pm on Monday May 27.
As soon as this news spread, relatives started visiting the house of the deceased to pay their last respects. The same day, Angara too passed away, after finishing the final rites of his wife.
It is said that Angara had suffered a heart attack two months ago. His family had lost hopes, but he survived.
The deceased couple is survived by five sons and four daughters.
