For 34 years, Lou Ann Alexander worked as a flight attendant. But at the age of 58, she received a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. So, she was making plans for hospice care.
Her older brother, Rex, was flying to see her when he asked the flight attendant if he could speak to the passengers.
He talked about her and passed his phone around with photos of her. He then handed out napkins and asked if they’d write a little something .
Ninety-six passengers responded.
Some drew pictures. But mostly, there were warm words: “Your brother made me love you, and I don’t even know you.”
And “My favorite quote: ‘You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.’” His sister passed away, but he never forgot the compassion shown that day.
“I’m just amazed that total strangers will reach out and show so much empathy and concern.” (Arizona Republic)
We are not strangers. We’re all children of God!
