Another old people found love
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that love happened again to 71-year-old Jeannette Sacquet in the most unlikely place. When she boarded the Queen Mary II luxury ship in January 2017, she never knew her life would change.
Ever since she became a single mother and divorced, the woman has been seeking fun through travelling around the world. She also spent her time socializing with friends at parties.
Jeannette had since abandoned the idea that she would ever find love again. Aboard the Queen Mary II ocean liner, she was having breakfast with a group of travellers when she met 68-year-old Scotsman Graham McFarlane.
