Billie Jo had spent time working as a paralegal, but due to an alcohol addiction she lost her job and eventually her home. After she suffered a stroke, her boyfriend helped her get sober and helped take care of her. But over the years, her boyfriend died, and then her immediate family died. She had to move in with the friend whose poor care caused her death.
