THANKS: To two special people

| June 4, 2014 9:00 PM

I want to thank two great Samaritans!

On Mother’s Day I was at the Dollar Tree, and after getting my items I realized I didn’t have my money with me. I had just been to church and thought maybe I lost it there. I began to cry and walk out without my things. As I got to the door, the cashier yelled out, “Ma’am you forgot your bag.” The very nice man behind me in line had paid for my purchase — I couldn’t believe it! I cried and hugged him as I thanked him, but forgot to get his name. This is late in coming, but I wanted to thank him very, very much for his generosity and kindness.

Also, during the holidays I lost an important package intended for UPS. I’m a notary and had very important documents to mail. It had gotten lost somewhere between my house and UPS. I thought I’d have to do the job over again and risk upsetting the client. UPS informed me the next day that a very good samaritan had found the envelope and mailed it just in time.

Thank you to both of these people from the bottom of my heart.
