The Nation’s Associate Editor, Sherie Holder-Olutayo takes a look at what’s trending today in Barbados.

The double funeral and burial of Anthony and Zippora Skeete who had been married for 54 years and died a day apart has several of our online readers talking. Our readers commented on the bond of true love that so many couples lack today, but these two seemed to have. Here are some of their comments.

Jennifer West: This is what most couples dream of- true love! I read this article after reading one on women who cheat as well. Who would want to cheat and miss out on true, perfect love? I would rather stay single and wait to get what this couple had, than cheat! This couple is/was a great example of true perfect love!

Angela J. Thomas Branch: This is true love a thing many of us in this day lack. It is knowing how to fix things when they break and not throwing them away.

Margaret Ross: Safe travels to both of them! We all can learn a lot from this couple. Some people would say this is love, others a broken heart. God's speed. RIP

Posted by yogi Ni 11 months, 1 week ago: How does Jennifer West know that this couple had perfect LOVE? Does she know if the husband had several other women, or if the wife ever stepped out of line? Most of the men and women of they time were not easy, especially the men, who were usually village RAMS. I am not trying to infer that this was not a great couple, I am just being real, which most people don't seem to be these days.
