Troy and Charletta Green both 44 years-old died from COVID-19 early this week with just few hours separating their death.
They met when they were 14 years old, and were thousands of kilometers apart when they succumbed to the virus, leaving behind seven children.
The two lovebirds lost their lives earlier in the week, leaving behind the kids aged between 10 and 23.
Narrating the onset of the tragedy, Troy’s sister Tiki Green said they had planned a family trip to Florida in August, but Troy stayed home as he was not feeling well.
While Troy’s condition improved, Charletta’s got worse as her lungs were damaged.
She passed away, and when Troy learnt about it, he could not take it. He started having chest pain and died hours later.
According to Tiki, the couple had considered getting the COVID-19 vaccine but contracted the virus before getting around to doing it. She further urged other people to get the vaccine.
Tiki said they are trying to get help for the children.
In her words:
“We’re just telling them that we are here, we love them and we’re going to support them as much as we can.”
