Wonderful Gesture

Blog Last Activity 9 years ago 339 views 4 comments
<p>An Idaho man, Barry Johnson, has given up his burial plot in a military cemetary to a lesbian woman so she can eventually be buried next to her Wife who died in 2012.</p>
<p>Navy veteran Madelynn Taylor has been refused permission to be buried next to her long time partner so this chap Mr Johnson, a retired Army Colonel, came to the rescue saying "Madelynn Taylor seems a heck of a lady"</p>
<p>What a wonderful gesture and shows the world really is full of good, decent people.</p>

I agree that there sure are some decent people out there. When I collapsed whilst out shopping at a busy mall.. I remember waking up in hospital wondering how I got there and a Nurse told me this gentleman had picked me up, carried me to his car and driven me to the hospital. I never found out who he was, but I remain grateful to this day :)

That is good news, I actually had just read and posted the story of them being denied being buried together on Google+. There are good people in the world but it really is a shame this was even an issue to begin with.
