The daughter of the older woman Kasey had offered to help left a note (above) along with the tip. ‘On one of the most depressing days of the year (the death of my father, three-year anniversary), you made my mother’s day wonderful. She has been smiling since you did what you did. ‘Her grocery was only $17.00, and you insisted on paying and told her she was a wonderful woman. ‘I have not seen this woman smile this much since dad died.’ Some took to Twitter to praise Kasey’s act of kindness.
