Letter: Thanks for helping couple whose truck broke down

We recently had our usual breakfast at Hill’s Restaurant in Kennewick. Came time to leave and our truck refused to go. So we called Ken’s Towing.

The servers at Hill’s were so caring, they helped me write down numbers and said I could use their telephone as backup, because by this time I was so flustered I couldn’t even remember ours. While waiting for the tow, they served us coffee and kept checking on us.

The tow truck driver said he would drive us home if my husband could get in the truck, he’s disabled. But when it came time to leave one of the customers left his breakfast table and drove us home.

We definitely give our gratitude and many thanks to all.

Rita Swan, Kennewick
