Thomas Stern then gave the reason for the absence of his partner at his side who had come to testify four years previously. “Today such a thing would be difficult”he confided not without emotion.
Thomas Stern tirelessly supports his wife for whom he has become a caregiver. “I think I’ve never felt more like his man than in being his caregiver.

We cannot do otherwise otherwise a break sets in.” he clarified. Upsetting news that may affect fans of Catherine Laborde.
