The Small Town with a Big Heart: a True Story About the People of St. Augustine Jill Davis

In an era of suspicion and of terrorism, it is refreshing toknow people REALLY do help people. My husband was from St. Augustine, Florida. During his six months' battle with stomach cancer, our family of four was financiallyand emotionally supported 100% by the townspeople. $5, $10 and $20's arrived inget-well cards for one full year. The miracles of giving were astounding. Nobills went unpaid, no meals were forgotten, boxes of paper goods arrived,holiday gifts and decorations were donated, firewood delivered, our home waspainted, the giving was extraordinary...from the hearts of caring kind people. A whole town helped our family survive through sickness and the subsequentdeath of my beloved husband and young father to our sons.
