Letter: Thank you to gentleman who found and returned purse

Very early the morning of Aug. 20 at the Richland Home Depot store, I left my purse in the insulation area after setting it down to help load insulation onto carts.

I am so very grateful to the kind and honest gentleman who saw my purse and gave it to a store employee who knew I was buying insulation. Before my purchase was completely loaded onto my truck, the purse was returned to me with all credit cards, cash, cell phone, etc.

The purse is special to me — a birthday gift last May from a son. I hope my purse-finder reads this letter and his kindness is returned a hundred fold.
