Grieving Mother Delivers Toys To Pediatric Unit

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) — A southeast Missouri woman is channeling her grief to help others. The Southeast Missourian reports Laura Schumpert of Cape Girardeau lost her husband and 2-year-old son in a car accident in December. Rather than monetary donations, she asked people to donate toys to three organizations. Last week, Schumpert delivered the toys to the pediatric unit of HealthPoint Rehab in Cape Girardeau.
