Elderly couple separated in different B.C. care homes are reunited
VANCOUVER — An elderly couple forced to live in two separate residential care homes in British Columbia have been reunited.
Their granddaughter Ashley Bartyik posted an announcement on Facebook saying the couple are now staying at Morgan Heights facility in Surrey.
“The reunion saw tears of joy for all involved,” she says in the statement.
Wolfram and Anita Gottschalk gained global attention in August when Bartyik shared a heartbreaking photo of the couple weeping when they were briefly reunited during a visit with each other.
