The Happiest Levittown Love Story

The happiest love story I know happened right here in Levittown...

It was my mother and father, Margaret O'Donnell and Earle Jensen. 

They were happily married for 50 years and had six children. We have either all stayed in Levittown or moved only one town away. Unfortunately my mother passed away 12 years ago. She told me right before she died, "Don't ever cry for me; I have gotten everything from life that I've ever wanted. A devoted husband and six wonderful children." 

The love they shared together was noticed by everyone that knew them. Unfortunately now my father is in the hospital with pneumonia and we are praying for his recovery.  I feel he would love to be with his loving wife Margaret, whom he adored and took care of for years.  But hopefully he will take our advice (his children) to fight and be here with us longer. Any prayers you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Again, their love for 50 years is truly the greatest love story I've ever known.
