Man sends Valentine's Day gift to his beloved widow

CASPER, Wyo. - A Wyoming man who died last year from a brain tumor is keeping Valentine's Day special for his wife - even in death.

Shelly Golay, of Casper, received a bouquet of flowers two days before Valentine's Day.

She initially thought her children had sent them.

But after contacting the flower shop, she learned that her late husband, Jim, had arranged before his death last summer for flowers to be sent to her every Valentine's Day until she, too, dies.

Golay tells KCWY-TV the gesture shows that when it comes to her late husband's love, there are no boundaries, even in death.

She likened it to the true love of fairy tales.

Jim Golay was 53 years old when he died.
