Even during a global pandemic, good news can be found in unexpected places. Such was the case for Holmes Beach resident Sue Hamilton on Thursday, April 2.

“I live in Key Royale. My cleaning lady was coming and the dog next door brought a shoe over to give her as a gift. I went to move the shoe out of my driveway and there was a painted rock by my mailbox that said, ‘You are loved.’ My neighbors on both sides also got painted rocks and my daughter, Robin Hamilton, in Seaside Gardens found one too. I just think it’s wonderful,” Hamilton said.

To the anonymous giver of painted rocks, Hamilton said, “Thank you, Thank you. You made my day. You made my week.”
