By the time spring returns to Statesboro, the patio outside the Georgia Southern University School of Nursing will be ablaze with new color and life as the new School of Nursing Memorial Garden blooms for the first time. The university held a ceremony Monday, Oct. 19 at 3 pm. to dedicate the garden to the seven young women in whose honor it was planted: Morgan Bass, Caitlyn Baggett, Emily Clark, Abby Deloach and Catherine “McKay” Pittman, who lost their lives in a car crash April 22, 2015, on their way to clinical rotation in Savannah; and Brittney McDaniel and Megan Richards, who were injured in the same crash but are continuing their nursing studies at GSU. “Words are not adequate,” Georgia Southern interim president Dr. Jean Bartels began in her welcoming address at the dedication ceremony, speaking to an audience of the friends and family members of the young women harmed in the crash. The dedication’s attendees, which also included university students, faculty and staff and members of the greater Statesboro community, overwhelmed the small patio bordering the garden.
