    Thank you for sharing this story with us.  I also have had angels in my life that the Lord has sent me.
    There was a fire in my condo complex close to two years ago and I met a man that later became my dear friend we have been there for each other in the bad and the good.  I know that I can always count on him no matter where we are in life.
    Another angel the Lord sent me was when I moved back to my condo I needed help and had no one and her and husband helped out.
    God always comes to the rescue when we need him!!!
