JUST wanted to send a message of thanks to the two ladies who stopped their cars to help my mother-in-law after her fall on the Alder Road, Parkstone, on the afternoon of Tuesday August 26.

These two ladies did not know my mother-in-law or in fact each other, but they kindly helped her to her feet, saw her safely home and tended to her cut arm (we later discovered she had broken her wrist).

They did not leave their names but the whole family wish to convey our appreciation and let them know she is recovering well.

It is good to know the smile of human kindness still exists even in today’s busy society.
