Heather Bowers, battling cancer and confined to her deathbed, expressed her last desire: a pork plate from her favorite vacation spot, Mama Kwans in Outer Banks, North Carolina.
Determined to grant her friend’s wish, Mary Simmons reached out to the restaurant, hoping for a miracle.
What followed was nothing short of extraordinary.
“I knew it was a long shot, and she calls me by about 5 and she said Kevin already has it packed up,” Simmons said. “He’s in the car and he’s on his way there. I said, ‘What?’ And she said he’s on his way to the house.”
Cherry drove nearly six hours to deliver what ended up being Bowers’ last meal. She passed away the next day.
