Sleek twin caskets adorned with matching arrangements of white flowers lay side by side at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral yesterday morning as the strains of  Kenny Rogers’ “Through the Years” wafted through the air. It was a touching, serene picture which  Monsignor Vincent Blackett later described  as  “the climax of a wedding”  rather than the funeral service for Joan and Cecil Fitt.
Blacket said the late Rendezvous Ridge, Christ Church  couple” celebrated their marriage from beginning to end”, treating their life together as “one big wedding celebration.” The bond held through death.
