I just wanted to say thank you and God bless you, you are truly a “good Samaritan.”

I was walking in the Hometown Cemetery one late afternoon and a car stopped at the entrance as I was walking by. A man in the car blew the horn and motioned to me. Not recognizing this person, I was hesitant to go over to the car. Thank goodness I did!

The man asked me if I lost a pair of black gloves and car keys. I reached into my coat pocket, and sure enough, no gloves, no car keys. He told me he found them a short distance from where I parked my car, and he just turned them into the cemetery office. He also mentioned the secretary was getting ready to close the office.

I thanked him and expressed to him my sincere gratitude. He smiled and said “merry Christmas” as he drove away.

I started walking toward the office when the secretary, who had been watching me speaking to the gentleman in the car, walked over and handed me the gloves and car keys. I told her I didn’t realize they had fallen out of my pocket. I accepted the gloves and keys with a very thankful heart.

I didn’t get the gentleman’s name but I want him to know our world is truly a better place when we have someone who goes out of their way take the time to care and to help others!

With grace and gratitude,

Susan Mercier
