Whoa what a fascinating story this is! A story of true love. No no, a story of true Undying Love. I want to know what you guys think about this one for real.

Elena Milargro Hoyos Mesa was a 22-year-old wife and Cuban immigrant living in Key West, Florida. Elena contracted a fatal case of tuberculosis and she was given on a few months of life left when she met Dr. Carl Tanzler.
