Kindness blooms in Save Mart cart

I would like to thank the young ladies who purchased a gorgeous blue orchid for me on Sept. 10 as I was shopping at Save Mart at Cedar and Ashlan avenues. A checker came over and put it in my basket. He said a couple of young ladies had just purchased it for me since I looked like I needed some flowers.

What a wonderful thing to do! I was feeling really down that day and their kindness brought tears to my eyes. I don’t know who they are, but they are truly angels in my eyes, to do such a thing! God bless you, ladies! You really lifted my spirits!
