Maureen Eberlin, Stanley’s new wife of three years writes in May 2017

We are going back to Kimberley as a gift from me to him

This is for his 75th birthday.

I thought I wanted to give him something that money can’t buy – to retrace his footsteps

I also wanted to share in his past and his early formative years

Stan and I have only been married for 3 years

Stan lost his wife after 47 years of marriage and I lost my husband after 44 years of marriage

We were so blessed to find each other

That’s our first sad/happy story

 

Kind regards

Maureen
