Once again, thank you John for a beautifully written story about my daughter and son in law. I was with them and witnessed their heroics first hand. To say I’m one proud mama and mother in law is an understatement. We’ve been season ticket holders for years but this is one year we will not forget for several reasons.

Well-written and inspiring. Heroes and heroines walk amongst us, rising to challenge and acting out of empathy and altruism. They deserve to be recognized and appreciated for what they do, day in and day out. This is the highest form of human love.

From the guy that was there to witness the first heroic act saving his buddy....I knew Andrea was an Angel. Now I know she's not only an Angel....She's on a mission to save a Coug every home game. I see some complementary season tickets in her near future. Hear me Pat Chun and Cougar Athletic Foundation?

I am going with "bigger". Most of us mere mortals go through life and never have the opportunity, or training, to do such wonderful deeds. This woman does. God is a big idea, responsible for all the universe and its tens of billions of galaxies and quadrillions of stars and planets. We can't conceive that any one being could keep an eye on all of it at the same time. But then again, we are humans and not God. He/she is able to work through us in amazing and timely ways like this. Anyone who has seen "A Wonderful Life" knows how that goes. We all live wonderful lives and probably never know all the ways we help others. I love this story because it is blindingly obvious how Andrea Perry does.

Keep it up John, the world can get better when we allow the joy to well up from within.

Wow. Stranger than fiction that an ER nurse would be present to save two people, AND to have her cancer in remission. WSU should give Andrea and her family lifetime club seats.

I pray that you are correct about her cancer. This woman really has "Paid it Forward."

John, you ought to take this story national.

My mother used to say "there are angels among us", and "miracles happen every day". I think she was right. Thanks JC for keeping us informed.

Thank you.

Miracles happen every day but you never hear about same on the Negative Events With Spin.
