Bea Hines and Floyd 'Jake' Dorsett became friends at age six after Bea's family moved to Miami in 1944, sustaining their bond for 81 years. Despite living apart, their families remained close. Jake, a retired NYPD detective, and his wife Tine faced serious health issues, with Tine undergoing an amputation, while Jake's health declined significantly.

Their enduring friendship illustrates the lasting connections formed through shared experiences and support.
The bond between our families has lasted over eight decades, reflecting a deep friendship that persisted despite geographical distances and life's challenges.
