A Florida couple who would have celebrated their 59th anniversary this month was found lying in bed together when their bodies were recovered from the partially collapsed Champlain Towers building in Surfside last week, according to a report.
Antonio Lozano, 83, and his wife Gladys Lozano, 79, were two of the first victims to be identified in the rubble that had claimed 22 lives and left 126 missing as of Friday evening. “They couldn’t stand a moment without each other. To this day I never saw them apart,” grandson Brian Lozano told WTVJ-TV in Miami.
“I’m finally at peace and I really hope for other families to get that sense of peace knowing that I got that sense of closure.” The Lozano family said they were relieved to hear the couple had gone together. Brian Lozano told the station he was happy to see politics set aside after the disaster.
“When it comes down to life and our safety for a loving person we have to band together and stay strong to heal together,” he added that He said he was also grateful for President Biden’s visit to the site on Thursday. “He’s giving the word of hope and that’s literally what I got from the entire speech,” he said. Lozano said his grandparents used to joke about who would go first, neither wanting to be a lone survivor. CONTINUE
