I must commend the Sikeston EMS team, Scott County Ambulance, fire department and all those whom were present during the transporting of my father to and from Missouri Delta a couple of weeks ago. He is a virtually wheelchair-bound, elderly, obese gentlemen, whom was in excruciating pain, after experiencing a fall. They had to carry him down stairs, and back up stairs upon his return, which was a challenge, to say the least. But, I thank them all for their efforts, courtesy, and respect while going beyond what’s normally required of them. I wish I could have fed them all some of the fish my mother was trying that evening. But, I just needed to give these individuals their praise and recognition for seeing how they do what they do. I pray God’s continued blessings in your lives.
