Letter: Angels in our midst

I have always thought that Tillamook is a special place, with very special people. Now, I know that is not just a thought but a reality.

On Tuesday, May 28, 2024, to use both hands while packing my car after work, I placed my wallet on the roof of my car and I finished my packing…and drove off.

Somewhere along Third Street, thankfully (if it had to happen at all) near the Nazarene Church, my wallet had had enough of its joy ride and leaped off the roof of my car, scattering its contents over a wide area, helped along by the wind tunneling down Third Street.

And then the angels showed up. Kelley, a medical professional who lived across the street from the church, was walking to Safeway and picked up several items from my wallet, and, when she saw my name, called my daughter and told her about it, and my daughter called me. I searched for quite a while and did find a few things but not my wallet.

Until Yesterday, May 30, 2024, when another angel stopped by my office, name of Nick Mobley- with my wallet in hand, and most of its contents inside; he said he tried to pick up as much as he could. He said, as angels do, that he would not accept any reward for his efforts.

Nick, please know that I have been advised by higher ups that two gold stars have been added after your name in the great scoreboard in heaven.
