J.D. had Turk, Mulder had Scully, Rory had Lane. It\u2019s a special bond that you don\u2019t forget as time passes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Beginnings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Magali started nursing school at Kennesaw State University, she never expected to find a best friend. It was there that she met Lenny and they immediately bonded being the two oldest students in the class. He had a way of lifting everyone&#8217;s spirits anytime he entered a room. After graduating in 2004, they began working at 2 different healthcare facilities in Georgia, but remained friends and ran into each other often. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad News<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things changed once Magali retired in 2015. They didn&#8217;t get to see each other and fell out of touch. Magali recently had surgery in the same hospital where Lenny worked. She was eager to see him and asked a nurse if she knew where to find him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nurse delivered bad news. Lenny was on a leave of absence due to cancer. Magali was devastated to hear about her friend&#8217;s health. Determined to find him, she went to Spokeo.com, performed a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">name<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> search, and located his phone number.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Bittersweet Reunion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was able to get a hold of him! He wasn&#8217;t at home anymore though, he was in hospice. And although Magali could hear how happy he sounded to hear from her, she could also hear that \u00a0cancer had taken a toll on his usually bright personality. Feeling a sense of urgency, she went to visit him right away. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe was so happy to see me! We were able to talk and reminisce about our nursing school days. We also caught up on what had happened in our lives since we last spoke.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lenny passed away 3 days later. Magali was grateful that Spokeo gave her the chance to reconnect with her dear friend one last time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Magali, thank you for sharing your touching story with us and for reminding everyone to cherish their friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have that one friend that makes school or work bearable.
