This very kind man helped my husband to the corner where I was \u00a0standing. We propped him on a wall. \u00a0Then this kind man disappeared \u00a0in the crowd before I could thank him properly.<\/p>\n<p>I had to hold my husband by his back because he could not support himself. \u00a0The candy bar seemed to help but he never gained enough strength \u00a0to support himself.<\/p>\n<p>A man who seemed to be the Director for the Taxi Service Tours realized my husband was very sick. \u00a0He went to the Pier Entrance to see if \u00a0someone could come get my husband with a wheelchair. \u00a0They could not. So the man got one of the Taxis to drive my husband to the Pier Entrance. There Pier Security took him with a wheelchair to the entrance of the ship.<\/p>\n<p>What a scarey event. \u00a0Without the help of these \u00a0three Angels, who all helped freely and without reservations, my husband might have died.<\/p>\n<p>We will be eternally grateful for their kindness and compassion<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>Lynda Menter<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h6>The views and opinions expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BahamasB2B.com<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 4, 2013 my husband and I were visiting Nassau from a cruise ship.
