We were stranded because of a winter blizzard, met an employee at the Casey's in town and told us to follow her to the care center. Put us up in an empty room, gave us meals, and were especially nice to my daughter. Rarely have I ever seen such hospitality, especially in such dire circumstances! Truly our heroes! Thank you so much for your kindness!
