Udupi, Jul 21: A couple residing near Rama Mandir at Ambalpady Kappettu here, which lived together after marriage and shared joy and sorrow in each other's company all along their lives, breathed their last the same day.

The couple which exhibited this exemplary closeness happened to be Somayya Shettigar (85), and his wife, Netravati Shettigar (76). The couple has left behind three daughters and a son.

Somayya and Netravati always cherished the principles of mutual cooperation and peaceful coexistence. Of late, both were suffering from age-related health problems, it is learnt. Somayya, who was admitted into hospital after his asthma problem aggravated, was discharged. At that time, his wife, Netravati, was admitted into a private hospital. Within sometime since he reached home, Somayya's health worsened and he breathed his last. Within an hour since her husband's demise, the condition of Netravati, who was in the hospital, too turned critical and she lost her life.

The couple thus became one in death too. Their funeral was conducted at the Hindu graveyard at Beedinagudde here.

    What a lovely story filled with pride and emotion about Somayya and Netravati who died on the same day and were made to rest in peace at the same time. What a lovely message to cherish of an ideal couple who lived together and suffered together their aging symptoms and shared their agony together until death took them apart within few hours from each other.

    God was kind enough to give them their joys of wedded life. They lived a simple life within their means. They had a Mandir close to their home where they could pray together by being close to each other.

    What more can we expect in this world. This is a classic example that happy marriages can be created thru our own efforts in spite of all our daily trials and tribulations. They both also must have had their own good days and tough days, but they survived for so long together and now they are safely in the hands of God. May they rest in peace.

    Great loving inseparable couple even till last breath. Somayya and Nethravathi have proven that even in happiness and sorrow, health as well as in illness the bond of marriage cannot be separated. They really deserve heaven.
