THIS LADY became my neighbor about a year ago. There's no end to what she does for me. She cares and there is not enough ways to say thank you to her, not only me but she wants her family to have the best. After teaching school all day, she still finds things to do for other people...

THIS LADY became my neighbor about a year ago. There's no end to what she does for me. She cares and there is not enough ways to say thank you to her, not only me but she wants her family to have the best. After teaching school all day, she still finds things to do for other people.

MY DAUGHTER and her husband do so many acts of kindness all the time for me, like taking me to church, the grocery store, the doctor, any other place I need to go. There is no limit to the things they do for me plus they make good home made ice cream.

I HAVE a friend who checks on me every day since I haven't been so well. It's good to know someone cares. This is an act of kindness, I think.

I WOULD like to thank the support staff at Gordonville Attendance Center for all their daily acts of kindness towards our students. We appreciate your smiles, your gentleness and your treats of joy brought with you each day to our building. A school is a special place when you have secretaries, cooks and custodians as nice as you. We also appreciate all the PTO does for the children and teachers. You are a special part of what makes Gordonville great. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

I WAS calling to report a Random Act of Kindness that I received. I pulled up to a drive-up car wash the other day on Shawnee in Jackson and someone paid for the car wash and drove through and let me use it for free.

MY NAME is Rachel Powless and I would like to report a Random Act of Kindness. Doug and Denise Lincoln, and their two sons, Dane and Drew, arrived at my house, armed with flowers to plant my flower barrels and they cleaned the gutters and swept and cleaned up in general for me. I appreciate it very much. I just wanted to report it.

THANK YOU to Speak Out staff for your kindness in editing my voice messages. Often I call you as I'm driving to work and my messages become so disjointed, I don't speak quite as grammatically correct as I write. And you edit it and fix it, fix the grammar and make everything look a little bit better.

I WOULD like to have this put in the Random Acts of Kindness week. I would like to take the opportunity of Random Acts of Kindness week to thank Debbie Lusk for putting our paper in the front door every morning for the last several years regardless of the weather. And also whoever brings my trash cans in every Friday morning, a big thanks to them too. They do it so quickly I don't know who it is but a big thanks to both of them.

I JUST wanted to say, this morning on the way to work, I stopped at McDonalds to get a couple Egg McMuffins and the lady in front of me, when I got to the window had already paid for my breakfast for a Random Acts of Kindness. She's a lady in a red car. I don't know who you are but I appreciate it very much.

I'M JUST reporting on a Random Act of Kindness, Mrs. Harriet Martin's and Mrs. Lynnore Meyers' third grade classes at Orchard Drive in Jackson are writing letters to the residents of the Lutheran Home in Cape and making favors to give them.
