Letter to the Editor: Random act of kindness

Dear Editor:

I am a disabled veteran of WWII, Korean and Vietnam wars. While shopping at Stater Bros on Oct. 23, at around 3-4 pm, a kind lady shocked this 95-year-old.

I am so humbled by her kindness, I had to write you.

While I was at the checkout, I was going to pay my bill but was told it was taken care of by the lady next in line. I do not know her name. I have lived in Downey for 75 years and never been thanked for my service to our country, like this lady did for me today.

I hope someone in Downey shows her this message and tells her I will think of her as the Egg Lady every day as I have breakfast.

May God bless her always.
