Melvin and Doris Cornelson never dated anyone else before they were married 62 years ago. Melvin was the only man Doris ever kissed.

When Melvin, 85, died following a battle with cancer, Doris was at this side at the Kansas retirement community they lived in, Fox4KC.com reports.

"She sat with us all morning and planned some things," Candi Sawatzky, the couple's daughter said.

But Doris reportedly began to fade soon after.

"She went to bed at noon and never got up," Sawatzky told Fox4KC.com.

"I think he said enough was enough and that gives her permission to go," Randy Sawatzky, Candi's husband said.

"They're together. They're happy," Candi said.

    A military drone, once mistaken for a UFO along DC highways back in June took flight Tuesday. The X-47Bdrone is the size of a fighter jet, and took off from the deck of an American aircraft carrier for the first time Tuesday in a test flight that could eventually open the way for the U.S. to launch unmanned aircraft from just about any place in the world.
