Red roses twice a week

Joe DiMaggio met Marilyn Monroe in 1952, he was thirty-seven, she was twenty-five. He was  the dominant force in the New York Yankees dynasty and the most famous star in Baseball history. Marilyn Monroe would become the most famous star in Hollywood history, but when she met Joe, he was the star.
Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe On January 14, 1954, and it was the dawn of the most touching love story in American history.
When Marylin Monroe died, Joe DiMaggio was devastated, he claimed her body and arranged her funeral. He had a half-dozen red roses delivered 3 times a week to her crypt for 20 years and no one new that. Unlike her other two husbands or others who knew her, he refused to talk about her publicly or otherwise exploit their relationship. He never married again.
