Heartfelt Thanks
In April, the area in which we live was hit by tornadoes. My granddaughter, her little sisters, mother and step dad sought help by making their way to the Petro in Glade Spring, Va., after their home was destroyed. After seeing what was left of their home I am so amazed that they are still alive.
I am writing to share a most heartfelt thank you to the truckers who just happened to choose the Petro that night to stop for their break. When my family made it to the Petro in their nightclothes, cold and wet, scared, bleeding from injuries, the drivers who could get into their trucks brought dry clothes and blankets for the little ones to keep them from going into shock until help arrived and they were taken to the hospital.
I have always thought highly of drivers and felt you could get no better help while in a crisis on the road, but this time their help was at our home. I wish I knew their names so I could thank them personally. I do pray all the drivers who were there during this storm have or will soon make it back to their families safely.
I don’t know if Truckers News will be doing an article on this tragedy, but I wanted to share our family’s story and express our deep gratitude for the help they received from these heroes!
