Floyd Boens’ last conversation with Charice Rush was about how she would be celebrating her 37th birthday. Hours after their conversation, a vehicle she was riding in early Sunday was going the wrong way when it collided with a CTA bus, ultimately ending her life.
“I talked to her around 8 o’clock the night before, and she said she was going to a club to celebrate her birthday,” said Boens, Rush’s oldest brother. “I didn’t hear anything else from my sister until later when someone called me and told me she was in a bad car accident.”
