As much as the loss of your friends pains you, I bet if you'd asked them how they wanted to go, the way they went would have been their answer. They passed together, doing what they loved. We should all be so lucky.

I'm truly sorry to hear that my friend. It is a shame to have to lose the ones you love the most. Try to think of it this way, two wonderful people were able to live pretty long lives together. Please don't take this the wrong way because I mean absolutely NO disrespect, but I hope that if I could choose how I go, it will be after I raise my sons into outstanding, healthy, and productive people and with my Queen on our motorcycle. I'm sure they are in heaven smiling down on us now. Best wishes for you and your heart my friend.
