Center, TX, Rural Carrier Toni Crowley recently grew worried about a customer whose mail was piling up over several days.

Crowley alerted her supervisor, who contacted the local sheriff’s office and asked someone to check on the customer.

A deputy investigated and discovered that the man had been incapacitated by a stroke.

The customer was hospitalized, and a member of his family later contacted the Center Post Office to thank Crowley for her life-saving concern.
