After losing her husband of 30 years to cancer, a man she'd been with since high school, a Leduc-area woman found herself lonely and vulnerable.
"It was extremely difficult losing my best friend, soulmate and love of my life," Lori Uhryn said in a statement to CTV News Edmonton.
"I was attending grief counselling after he passed away and after two years, decided possibly having a companion would be a good idea," she continued.
In 2016, Uhryn joined an online dating site where she met a man named George Vincent Henderson.
"He told me he was a widow himself, that his wife died of breast cancer," she said.
Uhryn said Henderson told her he was originally from Montreal, living in Calgary and working overseas.
"Our conversations started out friendly and uplifting and started to create me in a positive outlook after so many dark days," said Uhryn.
