In
today's edition of the Good Stuff, it's the little things that count.
65-year-old
John McCormick of Baytown, Tex. was in the middle of mowing his lawn when he
collapsed.
Firefighters
showed up and followed the ambulance to the hospital, where McCormick later
passed away.
Yet
the firefighters, strong even in the face of tragedy, had one more job to
complete.
They
returned to McCormick's house to finish mowing the lawn.
"I
just happened to get off the truck first and grabbed the lawnmower first. We
were all fighting over it," said firefighter Blake Steffenauer.
The
team of firefighters later left a handwritten note for McCormick's wife, Patsy.
"We
felt bad that your husband didn't get to finish the yard, so we did," they
wrote.
It was
the simplest of gestures that meant everything to McCormick's grieving family.
