But in every bad situation I’m learning to try to see some good in a situation so I just want to personally say thank you to the driver, Ms. Cynthia Bargas, for stopping and calling for help. This may be a hard time for u to deal with as well, I couldn’t imagine if I was in your shoes, so I will also be praying for you ma’am. God bless you!
