Thank you, Jenna

I want to thank a wonderful young lady named Jenna. I left my purse in my shopping cart at Walmart in Florida City this week.

I realized it was missing and drove back to my parking spot and found the cart and my purse missing. I drove home in a panic as all I could think about was someone using my credit cards.

When I got home I found out that Jenna had called my husband with my cell phone and agreed to wait at Walmart until I got there. I can’t tell you how grateful I was when I saw her with her little baby on her hip.

I offered her money or some reward, but all she said was for me to have a good day. It is so refreshing to know that there are honest people out there.
