    Deep gratitude

    Employee discovers deceased customer
    May 17 at midnight

    Letter Carrier Carol Helm was recently making deliveries in Charleston, WV, when she grew concerned about a customer whose mail was piling up.

    Helm alerted the woman’s neighbor, who contacted a member of her family.

    Emergency responders soon checked on the woman, who had died.

    The customer’s aunt, Harriett Beury, later mailed a letter to the local Post Office.

    “Our family is deeply grateful to the woman who cared enough to do something about what she thought might be a problem,” Beury wrote. “Please let her know that and make a note of her good deed, her competence and her compassion.”

    I like Link articles that feature animals, as well as profiles of employees who have been on the job for a half-century and those who are still working past age 65. While I’m not planning on joining them, more power to them.
