HOW very sad I was to read the story of Dennis and Maria Cramp (LET, May 27).

When we lose our loved ones through sudden death it is final and shocking but better than the agony of being forced apart like that.

What a pity there appears to be no way of keeping them together in shared accommodation.

My heart goes out to the gallant Dennis. All he needed was a "white charger" to complete my image of a knight in shining armour. God bless them both.
