Today, police received a call from the dead’s friend. She found a couple Samuel and Teresa Pinckney have died in their car which is in garage near to their home at 976 Grand Ave., Alberta. When the policeman came, the motor of their car was still running. And the couple died of asphyxiation from carbon monoxide poisoning obviously.

The couple, both highly educated, had been married for over fifty years. The friend Sonia Meyer, received an envelope from the couple that morning, asking her to inform the police of the contents. In the letter, they explained that their suicide was due to long-term illness, they didn’t have any living relatives and hoped to donate all their assets to charity.

Samuel passed away at age 78, while his wife Teresa was 79 years old. When they were young, they made money by running a bakery and worked diligently all the time so that the bakery gradually expanded its scale within a few years and supplied bread to the whole city. Even in their later years, they continued working until he retired at the age of 70 and sold the bakery to the employees. In their old age, Samuel became paralyzed, and Teresa also had difficulty moving independently due to rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.

Their heritage, worth $10 million, could have paid for top medical care and round-the-clock nursing. But they hope their heritage can be spent in more worthwhile places. According to their lawyer, the couple allocated $1 million donations to four organizations – the Salvation Army, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and United Way. Their church, Faith Assembly of God, would receive $5 million, while remaining funds would be distributed among various local charities.

They believed the money could only fulfill its final value by helping more people. This heritage also represents the ultimate purpose of their lives. Although they have left this world, it is believed that their spirit will continue to inspire others.
