It sounds like John and Margaret Wilson’s 72nd wedding anniversary was a beautiful and meaningful occasion, especially with the efforts of their daughter Christine and the home’s activity coordinator, Bev Eves. The intimate celebration with a special dinner, some bubbly, and music shows how much they are cherished at MHA Montpellier Manor. It's lovely to hear that Christine is so happy with the care and support her parents are receiving, and that the celebration brought joy to everyone involved.

It’s also impressive that John and Margaret have such a rich history together, from their long marriage to their careers and their move to Yarm. It sounds like they’ve created a wonderful legacy with their family and work
