She - Giffords, shot in the head and pronounced dead or at the very least, thought dead, miraculously survived.
He - Mark Kelly, the astronaut, who has an identical twin that is also an astronaut.
Originally, the Space Shuttle STS-134 (with Kelly as the commander) was to be launched on the same day of the William-Kate Royal Wedding.
Gifford was shot in Tucson at the foot of the Catalina Mountains. "Catalina" comes from the name, "Catherine." She somehow, miraculously attended the STS-134 liftoff try (weather disallowed the liftoff) on April 29.
April 29 is St. Catherine of Siena Day in Italy (who died at age 33) - she claimed to have a mystical marriage to Jesus.
A lot of this material was taken from Goro Adachi.
