Big Damn Hero

The New England Browncoats lost the sister of one of our own last week.

As sad as that is, something good has come of it. A reminder that all is not lost and there are good folks in this world. I'm not religious, but you don't have to be to appreciate the kindness of one woman on a highway. I have been asked to spread this far and wide, in the hopes that this hero might see it and receive the gratitude she so deserves. Feel free to do the same.

The family of Kristen Belair, who was killed on I40 near Burgaw, NC. on Aug. 26th around 1pm wants to thank a young woman who stopped and prayed with her 8 and 10 yr old son and daughter while the investigation/ pictures were being taken.

Kristen's family says "We don't know her name - only that she may be in her 20's, was wearing a pink polo with a butterfly on it and her cell phone had polka dots on it. The woman stopped to help calm the children, she prayed wtih them and then left without giving her name. The gentleman with her was wearing black pants.

Kristen's children have told the family what a great comfort she was to them in their time of need, and we would love to thank her. Could she please contact Channel 12 in Wilmington NC? If she does not want to come forward we just want to get word to her how much her graciousness means to our family."

Thank you, polka-dotted phone, pink polo-wearing stranger. Thank you for comforting two small ones when they truly needed it. Many try to leave the world a better place and bring it a bit of love, but you did not try. You did. Well done
