We’ve all heard the phrase “love is patient”, but one couple in
In 1941, Willard Mason and Llah Ost, both senior 2 students, became engaged to be married and began planning their lives together. But Willard moved away to work at Willow Run Bomber Plant, where he met and fell in love with a woman named Helvi. He broke off his long distance engagement to Llah and married Helvi in 1942. Llah later found love with someone else. Both had happy marriages and raised families.
Then, in 2003, Helvi died. A year later, Willard found himself back in his hometown, where by chance, he ran into Llah’s brother. He informed Willard of the death of Llah’s husband, and encouraged him to call her.
After that first phone call, the couple began dating. Willard made the drive from his home near Houghton Lake to Llah’s home in
“We get along perfectly,” Willard told AZ Central on Monday. “We’ve never had an argument, she’s a great cook, and she takes care of me.”
