I am HEARTBROKEN !!!! We have been friends since our first day at REX HOSPITAL NURSING SCHOOL. She named me " BA" . We kept in touch over all these years wherever she was. We wrote, texted and talked on the phone often. Our "Special" group even had reunions at her home in Pinehurst.. The family visited several times in Roanoke Rapids NC , and at our lake house. I still have the birdhouse she gave me. I told her often that I LOVED HER. I MISS YOU TERRIBLY EM, See you later .
