Good morning! Good news!
An 88-year-old city resident said he is still overjoyed about an experience he had when he was assisted by two kind-hearted “Christmas angels” the night of Dec. 3 while he was shopping at Wal-Mart of Bellefontaine.
Harold Gressner said in a letter to the Examiner that he was shopping with his daughter, Kristina Gressner of Lakeview, and they were checking out at the self-checkout.
“We put my credit card in to pay. It didn’t take it. Then a woman (an angel) walked up and put money in the machine and paid $48 for it and walked away,” Mr. Gressner wrote.
“I don’t know who she was. God bless her.”
The Bellefontaine resident said he began to tell a female customer behind he and his daughter about the generous stranger.
When they got outside the store, Mr. Gressner and his daughter saw this second woman again and started talking to her.
“I told her I lost my wife a year and five months ago, and she said she lost her husband over a year ago. Then she put her hand out to me and gave me $100 bill.
“I told her, ‘God bless her,’ and she said her grandfather would want her to do this.
“There are still a lot of wonderful people in Bellefontaine. I’d like to know these people to thank them for their kindness and generosity.”
