Letter: Good Samaritan thanked for assistance

On Saturday we were in Lindale Mall. My wife and I had my mother-in-law with us. She is 86.
We were setting on a bench near the food court when my mother-in-law slumped over. We thought we were losing her. There was this young woman who stopped and insisted on helping. She called 911 and did everything she could to help. She stayed on the phone and gave the 911 operator all the information she could.
My mother-in-law did regain conciseness. I don't know who this young woman was, but my wife and I feel that she was sent there by God. She was an angel watching over my mother-in-law.
I want to say to whoever you are, thank you and God bless you for stepping into our lives at the moment we needed you. You may not think so, but you truly are a gift from God.
