Dunlap couple returned purse

Bare bone honesty. Simple, clean, achievable.
Be real.
I am from Kewanee. On Saturday, Oct. 16, my sister-in-law and I went shopping in Peoria. I accidentally left my purse in the shopping cart in the parking lot at one of the stores. I did not notice it missing until we arrived at the next store, which was across town. We contacted store personnel and were told that no one had found or reported finding a purse.
I had a large amount of cash, checkbook, credit cards, cell phone, insurance cards and all the typical items women pack in their purse. I immediately began notifying companies and bank of my lost cards, etc. We kept calling my cell phone, hoping someone would answer and maybe I could locate my purse. But there was never an answer. I resigned myself to the fact that I would never see my purse and my belongings again, all the time hoping by chance that a good Samaritan had found my purse.
I was very lucky. A few hours later, my sister-in-law’s phone rang. It was the good Samaritans I had hoped for. A couple had found my purse in the cart, had taken it home with them and were attempting to locate me. In an attempt to locate me, they decided to call the first number on my cell phone, which was my sister-in-law’s home phone. Since I was still at her house, we were able to retrieve my purse and all of the contents within a short time.
My good Samaritans were Mary and Kevin Carter of Dunlap. I wish to extend a sincere thank you and blessing to both of them for their act of honesty and kindness and also a thank you to the Peoria Police Department for their concern and assistance.
