Undertaker Turns Matchmaker For Widowed Couple

Two widowed pensioners have found love again – thanks to the matchmaking skills of a funeral director.

The newlyweds, Tom Lennon, 76, and 70-year-old Isabell, were first introduced in January of this year by Lynn Love, who runs Co-operative Funeralcare in Essex, the Daily Mail has reported.

Mr Lennon's wife, Alice, died last year, and Isabell's husband had died in 2011, but Ms Love felt that the two pensioners would enjoy one another's company if they were to meet.

She explained: "I always keep in touch with customers as it's nice to have a cup of tea and a chat with a friendly face. After chatting with Isabell one day, it came to mind that the pair of them would be very well suited.

"It is great that they have both been able to find happiness again and it has given them a new lease of life. With the job I do comes a lot of sadness but it is nice something good can come out of it."

Mr Lennon is also quoted as saying: "Isabell is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm as happy as a sandboy. She's 100% diamond and her family have made me feel so welcome."

His new wife added: "I have found my soul mate. He is the most kind and caring man and I have laughed constantly since we met. Our families are delighted for us both to have found such happiness in later life."

The couple tied the knot last month and Ms Love not only helped to plan their big day, but acted as one of the official witnesses.
