 James NEWBURY (Brighton) (10:12): Five months after losing my grandfather, my broken-hearted grandmother passed recently to join with him. Merlyn ‘Merl’ Johnson was my grandfather’s second wife. Their marriage, when he was 74 and she 72, caused quite a commotion. Her family found out about the relationship when the two were caught kissing on the porch, and our family found out when we found a key to her unit on his keyring. The two lovebirds married hoping for 10 years together. Fittingly, they were blessed with over 25 wonderful years, now eternally together. Vale.
