Hell hath no fury like a woman with a long memory

Talk about not letting go! An article out of Charlotte, N.C. , tells of a nurse who was charged with murdering a patient in the office where she worked. The motive? She believed the patient had stolen her boyfriend in high school 30 years earlier.
And get this: The patient was in there for a facelift! That must've added fuel to the fire, huh? She was also in for fat grafts to her lips and laser therapy on her eyelids and facial scars. She went into respiratory arrest in the recovery room, and her death was blamed on a lack of oxygen to the brain.
But five years later, detectives testify they believe the nurse, Sally Jordan Hill, now 50, poisoned the patient, Sandra Baker Joyner, by injecting her with a powerful painkiller, then turning off an alarm that would have alerted other nurses. Two people in the plastic surgeon's office recalled hearing Hill say that Joyner had stolen her high school boyfriend.
I'd love to see the guy all this was over. Was he worth it?
Everyone probably has some type of grudge hidden inside them. Time usually wears it down. While it may flare up a little bit by contact with or mention of the "grudgee," you generally get over it. But I guess you can never underestimate the grudge-retaining power of a 15-year-old girl with a broken heart.
