Many strangers responded to a medical emergency

Many thanks to the following people who stopped to help when my husband a medical emergency in the Tumwater Fred Meyer parking lot: the woman who called 911 and directed the fire department to the right spot; the men who helped hold him up, offered him a pillow and got the mobile cart from the store and the store employees.

It’s nice to know there are still people who take the time to get involved. He and I appreciate it.
