Here’s a fuller version of JCs testimony. It appears their romance was in the beginning stages, although oddly in much earlier news reports I seem to recall it mentioned the two were planning marriage.
“......Campbell and Wayne Millard were actually cousins, but as she had been adopted, not related by blood. They knew one another as children — Campbell’s adoptive father and Millard’s mother were siblings — from family gatherings, briefly dated as teenagers, but then lost touch for decades.
In February of 2012, Campbell said, they reconnected over a shared interest in the genealogy of their family. Wayne was long divorced.
At first, she said, they simply talked over email, but soon graduated to phone calls, where they “talked about all kinds of things, as you do with your friends.”
Pretty soon, Wayne was calling her three or four times a day, Campbell said, and then that November, they met in person. He proudly showed her around the new hangar he had built at Waterloo Regional Airport for his business......
They saw one another in person only three times, Campbell said, the last time just before his death.“

I wonder how “just before” his death that was?
