A special thanks from an 82-year-old senior for all you did
To the Expositor:
Sometimes there are not enough words to thank someone!
On March 26 this spring, I was travelling on Hwy 6 (beside Sunsite estates) when an oncoming vehicle forced me into the slush on the side of the highway.
At this point I lost control of my vehicle and (God took control) we started turning in a circle, hit the edge of the ditch, ending up on the far side of the ditch on the roof of my truck. I at first thought that the guy that caused this would come help me. Ha ha.
I was upside down in my seatbelt with no injury at this point (said a quiet thanks). I looked frantically for my cell phone—no luck. Then I heard a calm voice from outside asking if anyone was okay in there—such a welcome sound. It turned out that three vehicles had stopped to see if they could help.
The two gentlemen dug out my truck door and finally saw me hanging upside down and me laughing and saying, ‘can you help me?’
The steady calm voice that took control of my situation and helped me I will never forget. They had me extracted from my truck before you could imagine. The lady that also stopped called 911 and when I was out and looking for my phone she called my number and we found it in the back seat. The paramedics that attended were so helpful and checked me out.
I just need to say a special thank you from this 82-year-old senior for all you did to cause this memory to be now a positive one just knowing that there are folks like you on this Manitoulin of ours.
Forever appreciated and never forgotten,
