Sheila and Brian
Sheila was a Christian looking for love so joined friends1st in April 2005 having been widowed from her first husband. God’s hand was on her life because Brian who was also a Christian looking for love had originally joined friendsfirst in 2002 and then rejoined in 2004. It was obviously his perfect timing! Sheila and Brian met in 2005 and they married in 2006 . Sheila made great contributions to our book – “Looking for Love the second time round” – a guide for widows and widowers”, sharing great insights into marriage for the second time having lost a loved and loving spouse.
