"I was taking my morning pills and began to choke. Samantha Jo immediately rose to the occasion."
This note would not have been written if it were not for the heroic act of Samantha Jo. I was taking my morning pills and began to choke. Samantha Jo immediately rose to the occasion. She was asking me if I could hear her, and if I needed help. Immediately, she reached around and gave me a thrust to the stomach and stayed with me. She kept making sure I was okay.

Because of her quick action and physical force, everything worked out perfectly within seconds once the pill had been expelled. She was very comforting. Her quick thinking allowed me to be here and write this letter to thank her.
