My former fiancee was from a racial minority.

After her training she became an SRN (Theatre Nurse).

She was treated extremely well by colleagues and patients alike (apart fom the odd rude one).

Dozens of her colleagues attended her funeral after she was killed in a road accident, and a bench dedicated to her , plus a beautiful Japanese Cherry tree can still be seen in the grounds of York District Hospital.
