Dear Editor:
It is so nice to live in New Westminster. One recent Saturday, I had the opportunity to be the recipient of a great amount of care and concern.
My husband and I are visually impaired, and we became separated while shopping. After searching for my husband, I returned to the last store I was at and asked the young man behind the counter if he would please call the police for help. The young man at the Golden Coins dollar store quickly helped me call the police.
The phone call took a while as the police wanted a clear description of my husband. Needless to say, I was rather rattled, so it took some time. The young man was very patient and very understanding. The Golden Coins store is very fortunate to have such a caring employee. I cannot thank this young gentleman enough for his kindness and patience.
I would also like to publicly thank the two police officers for their prompt help in this situation. They found my husband and stayed with both of us until we had both recovered and were able to continue our day.
Several people also came to say they were glad to see that we were back together – safe and sound.
New Westminster is a caring city.
Janet Taylor, New Westminster
