Thanks to four who helped in icy fall

Kudos and a round of thank-yous for the four people who stopped and helped me up when I was slipping and falling on an icy patch Feb. 15 at the end of my driveway. I had just gotten the mail from my streetside mailbox when down I went!
One lady stopped her car and ran up, then a city bus driver stopped his bus and came over, and then another lady came to help. Just as they got me up, a nice young man also stopped. Having two artificial knees, I am like an upside-down turtle if I happen to fall without something nearby to grab.
Unfortunately, I did not get their names, but I want to thank them and state, without a doubt, that there are great people in Cedar Rapids.
