For years, Susan Hughes and Anna Bonner were inseparable. The pair first became friends in 1999, when they worked as carers at the same assisted living complex.
Seeing Anna’s long blonde hair getting in her way as she served food to the residents, Susan offered her a hair tie.
The women got chatting. Anna told Susan about her difficult upbringing.
Being from a close family herself, Susan felt sorry for Anna and took her under her wing.
Becoming best friends, they shared an apartment, went on holidays together and loved to go clubbing.
