SSowee, who shared news of the businesswoman’s death, recounted how their friendship had started at the Saltpond Municipal Hospital's Outpatients Department (OPD).
“Rest in peace @Nurse Entrepreneur. I remember the first time I met you at Saltpond municipal hospital OPD. You had come with some colleagues of yours as a newly posted nurse. You were heavily loaded with Light 💡and looked so stressed because you had to go back to Accra and had not gotten accommodation yet,” he stated.
SSowee added that he had a spare room at his home and spoke to his wife, who agreed for Boateng to occupy it, starting their great friendship.
