For Kathie McKernan of Massillon, OH, the selfless act of two strangers was encouragement on the worst day of her life. On New Year's Eve, Kathie received word that her 29-year-old son had been killed by his wife . . . a shock that no mother ever wants to face. When the grieving couple stopped at a restaurant to regroup after completing their son's arrangements, they had no idea that they'd leave crying happy tears instead of sad ones. After noticing the visibly upset pair, another couple in the local eatery bought Kathie and Michael drinks . . . but that wasn't all. When the anonymous couple left the restaurant, they asked the hostess to deliver a note to the mourning parents. Inside was a $100 bill and a sweet sentiment scrawled on a napkin: "Life gets tough sometimes, I can see it in your eyes. You might need this more than we do!"
