Homebound senior grateful for visitors, taped sermons

I am 95 years old and homebound. I appreciate so much the continual acts of kindness of four special people.

Betsy and Boyd Greeson have cheerfully come to my home to visit and share their homemade bread.

Daisy Greeson has blessed me with her homemade treats and her happy disposition.

Harry Wagoner has taped the church services and brought them to me every Sunday afternoon.

These people have blessed me and so many other people with their selfless acts.

On April 17, I was finishing yard work and tripped on the concrete stones around my flower bed.

I fell and landed on my back — half in the garden and half on the stones.

I could not reach my cell phone and realized my arm was broken. Unable to move, I lay on the ground hoping and praying someone would come along.

Fortunately, some neighbors were walking on the street, heard me yell and came to my side. They called 911 and went to get my daughter who lives two blocks away.

I want to thank them and all the good neighbors in McAdoo Heights.

Some time ago my paper was delivered from my street to my door every day. It took weeks to determine who was being so kind.

Along the way, I discovered this same gentleman was doing the same for other neighbors and also would return trash containers to the back of the home.
