Dying patient marries fiancee at North Carolina hospital
DURHAM, NC (WRAL via CNN) — A patient at Duke University Hospital learned last week that he has perhaps only days to live. The one thing he wanted to do before dying was to marry the love of his life.
So hospital staff and some family members made it happen.
Sarah Myler, 47, and Jeff Benesch, 49, met nine years ago in Martinsville, Va., through Facebook.
“It ended up being very much love at first sight, and we have been together ever since,” Myler said Tuesday. “He’s my soulmate.”
She described Benesch as “the person you can call at 2 in the morning and ask absolutely anything.”
