Juliette' scenario, i.e., a true love affair by children of a tender age which reached fruition when at a proper age they were married."
Allan and Edwinna Duncan began their courtship while in their teens. They attended church activities together and fell in love. They continued to see each other after Edwinna left for school in Mississippi; however, their love for each other would not die. Edwinna returned to Louisiana to continue the courtship. Allan and Edwinna were married on October 23, 1981.
After the marriage, Allan and Edwinna were inseparable. They spent almost all their free time together at church functions, hunting or simply spending their time alone with each other. They were married approximately five months when Allan was killed. Allan's death devastated Edwinna and left her lostand in a daze. Although she has not remarried, she began living with another man and had two children who were four years old and seventeen months old at the time of trial.
On the facts presented to the trial court, we cannot say the award of $300,000 to Edwinna Duncan for the loss of love and affection due to the death of her husband was an abuse of the trial court's much discretion. Accordingly, that part of the judgment is affirmed.
Mrs. Duncan contends the trial court erred in failing to award damages for Allan Duncan's conscious pain and suffering from the time of electrocution to his death, approximately 60 seconds later.
