Thanks John, nice story (sure brightens up the day compared to other stories we hear/read), it is amazing to see such unconditional generosity and respect, just wish that would spread around more.

Why can't there be more stories like this in the news, instead of all the terrible things we read about every day?

Very nice to see these type of things occuring in our communities across Canada. Its not something our Gov would ever help out with but at least we do have caring people in this Country and lots of them as well.  :)

Wow what a great story!


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Except that this one occurred in the USA.
