We have friends everywhere, many we've never met

To the editor:

In response to the article "Community responds to special boy": Thanks for the article about Josh Ghiz and community efforts to raise money for his special dog. It brought tears to my eyes to read about such generosity. It makes me thankful for the good people of Cape Girardeau and for the many friends we all have everywhere, most of whom we've never met.
