HOUSTON, Texas — George H.W. Bush met Barbara when they were only 16 years old.

  • They were married for more than 73 years
  • Bush wrote letter to his bride-to-be
  • The couple loved the city of Houston

They were married for more than 73 years. Bush wrote a letter to his bride-to-be.

"I love you, precious, with all my heart and to know that you love me means my life," said Bush.

The couple had a close relationship with not only their family and friends, but with the City of Houston.

They loved to eat out, and one of their favorite spots was Fuzzy's Pizza.

We spoke to Fuzzy's owners after Barbara passed away in April.

“It was just about love, when they came in the door, they hugged me, they hugged Fuzzy, it’s just like your close relative is coming to see you,” said Fuzzy’s co-owner Rita Hejjar.

On the day Barbara died, her husband was by her side and held her hand all day long.
