Grateful for help

Dear Editor:

A letter to the kind people who were shopping at Zehrs at lunchtime last Friday (July 14).

Thank you most sincerely for all your help when my cart hit a pothole in the parking lot, crashed, fell over and tripped me.   

Several of you saw the incident and came running to assist. I’d hurt both shins and my hand (a bleeding leg and white slacks don’t make a pretty combination). People picked up the groceries which had scattered, put things in my car in the accessible space, fetched BandAids, got me a drink of water and the strong young man collecting for Bikes Against Bullying was helpful in getting me on my feet again.

Although the only names I got were Sue and Noah, I am grateful and pleased that the town I chose in 1984 to be my new home is still the same warm and friendly place it was back then.

Thanks to you all; I am very, very grateful!

Helen Marucci,
Fergus
