What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
How kind and caring this person is. If you need help she is always there and always lending an ear. Last week an older customer came into CVS and you could see that he was very tired and he couldn't find toilet paper. She went out to her car and gave him the pack she had bought for herself.

Thank you for all you do, Angela!
