"They exemplified what it was to love," Jake Hardy-Moore told ABC News of his grandparents, James and Donna Eaton, on Thursday.
The two were born and raised in East Nashville and met when they were young children. After they married, the loving couple raised their family in Mount Juliet. The couple had three children, four grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. The large family was the pride of their lives.
As residents in Tennessee began the laborious task of cleaning up and rebuilding their communities -- and lives -- after at least three tornadoes touched down in parts of the state, one family mourned and remembered a couple that was found dead in their home, side-by-side, after being married for nearly 58 years.
