Good Outcome on a Tragic Story


This is just a story that helps to keep your faith in mankind as being decent and sometimes, even though tragedy strikes and fate kicks sand in your face, somehow things work out to the good. Nothing can replace this mans wife who life was taken tragically in an automobile accident, but for him to be able to recover the one thing that connected him to her and represented such a big part of who she was to him is heartwarming.
The wedding and engagement rings stolen from a woman who died at Grady Memorial Hospital's emergency room were returned to her husband Friday afternoon.

Alan Armstrong told WSB-TV Channel 2 reporter Tom Jones the rings were found at an Atlanta pawn shop. They were stolen from Armstrong's wife, Katherine, at Grady Memorial Hospital. She was taken there after a crash on I-85 in late April.
The scumbag who stole them is a social services worker who works at the hospital.
Police arrested Tacuma Jawara, 54, a worker in the Grady social services unit, and charged him with one count of theft by taking. Investigators said Jawara was the employee in charge of Armstrong's personal property after her death. Video from a security camera shows Jawara with a property bag containing the rings, according to police.
What originally brought this story to my attention is that the husband is a member of the military and an Iraqi war veteran. Here is a link to video of the story, sorry I couldn't find a You Tube version.
