'I love you with all my heart': Husband leaves heartfelt note for wife before dying of coronavirus

Chandigarh, April 24

A husband and a father of two breathed his last after battling coronavirus for a month in a hospital in Connecticut.

Earlier this week, the man—Jonathan ‘Jon’ Coelho—had passed away by the time, his wife, Katie reached the hospital. Jon had died due to a cardiac arrest caused by COVID-19.

While Katie was gathering her late husband’s belongings to head back home to their kids—Penny and Braedyn. She came across his phone, which is when she noticed a note Jon had left for her.

Buzzfeed reports that Jon had probably left the note for Katie weeks before his death when he was first intubated.

“I love you guys with all my heart and you’ve given me the best life I could have ever asked for. I am so lucky it makes me so proud to be your husband and the father to Braedyn and Penny,” he wrote in the note.

He, further, wrote that Katie was the most beautiful, caring and nurturing person he had met in his life and that she was one of a kind.

He continued that seeing Katie be the best mother to his kids is the most amazing thing he had experienced in his life. Jonathan also left a note for his daughter and son, and told Katie that if she ever finds someone to love and if he loved her and the kids, then she shouldn’t be holding back.

The couple’s friends told Buzzfeed that the couple had been college sweethearts.

They met, became close friends, fell in love and got married in 2013.

Jon had tested positive for coronavirus in March. He had initially self-quarantined himself. When it got difficult for him to breathe, doctors suggested that he needed to be intubated.

Very soon, his condition deteriorated, he was put on a ventilator. Doctors were hopeful that he’d make a full recovery, and he had even begun to show signs of improvement.

However, in the next few hours, he had a cardiac arrest, which he could not survive.
