More Than Words

I would like to submit an article highlighting a good deed done by resident Brendan Caputo of Lake Wylie.

Approximately 40 years ago, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. In my early 20s with a long life to live, this seemed like a real setback.

One of the most uncomfortable pains in life is a toothache.

Miracles do happen.

I know this is a little late, but I want to say thank you for an act of kindness one of our brave young service men did for me during Christmas.

I am a man who has been on Lake Wylie all my life, and I think I know a lot of wonderful people.

Since the kind person who left cat food on my deck didn’t leave a note or card, I wanted to publicly thank the individual(s). It’s been rare, but always, always appreciated when anyone is thoughtful enough to offer help in whatever way they can as I go into my ninth year caring for more than 20 cats. I do not expect the help and find myself delightfully surprised and thankful for any gesture of care. Thank you wonderful person (people) whoever you are for helping me by donating food. The cats are extremely appreciative and more than anything else, my heart feels yours. The world just had one more good example, and that’s what powers love. Most sincerely, Carol Butler of Lake Wylie works with Friends of Feral Felines and Animal Adoption League

I called Christopers Bar & Grill on Tuesday, April 7, to place a catering order for 35 to 50 guests. I received a call from Marcio, and we discussed our order. He said he would call me back with the price. When he phoned me back, I let him know the time. I would need to pick up the food and told him it was for the Holt family, before the funeral, for their son Hunter Holt.
