It was not the kind of breakfast serving 22-year-old McDonald’s employee Pedro Viloria was expecting.

A woman with two kids approached the drive-through window at the Doral, Florida, McDonald’s restaurant to order breakfast and pay but when she moved to the collection window her car continued rolling.

It seemed that the woman was no longer breathing and was making jerking movements causing her foot to slip off the brake, Viloria told NBC Miami.

“Her kids were (in the back) screaming ‘Mother, mother stop it what are you doing,’” Viloria said, as per Inside Edition.

“I thought if these kids lose their mother today it would have been tragic. If I would have had to die to save that woman, I would have done it.”

Footage shows Viloria jumping through the window, he then chased after the car and threw himself in front of it.

“My brain was on hero mode,” he said.

An off-duty fire rescue officer was in the restaurant at the time and also rushed to the woman’s aid.

The woman was later identified as an off-duty police officer who is currently being treated in hospital, but no more details have been revealed.

“He is an excellent employee, so it didn’t surprise me that he took immediate action and jumped through a window to help save this woman,” Alex Menendez, the local McDonald’s owner said as per Today citing NBC Miami.

A second employee, who asked to remain unnamed, assisted with CPR, Menendez added in a statement. “Their quick thinking and action were everything in that moment.”

Thank goodness there were people around to help this woman. I wish her a speedy recovery.

Help us pay tribute to Pedro Viloria and those around him who helped rescue the woman by sharing this story.

A mother and son have only each other to lean on for support after a violent incident took away four members of their family. The mother, Loretta Traynor has to live the rest of her life knowing that it was her own brother responsible for the tragic death of husband and their three beautiful children.

At their funeral, 50-year-old Loretta sat in her wheelchair just a few feet away from the four caskets of her husband and children and said they were “taken too soon, too violently and without warning,” as quoted by CBC.

“In no way, shape or form can I believe that good will come out of this tragedy. I can’t and I won’t accept it,” she said while her only surviving son, Sam, stood next to her, as reported by CTV News.

When her family was shot dead, Loretta was also left severely injured by the shooter, Mitchell Lapa. 48-year-old Mitchell, Loretta’s brother entered their home in Oshawa, Canada “uninvited” before shooting the family down, according to Durham Regional Police, as reported by the Toronto Sun.

“Lapa was the sole shooter in this incident and he died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” the police said.

A friend of the family also said that Mitchell killed the rest of Loretta’s family but intentionally left his sister wounded. “They’re saying Mitchell killed all Loretta’s family and only injured her enough, so she would have to live without the rest of her family,” the friend said.

While talking about Mitchell, the friend also said, “Even as a kid growing up, Mitchell was a couple of years younger than me — always in and out of trouble. And that was from a point of view of a teenager who was able to see that all that time ago. I am not surprised of what I’m hearing… He was mentally unstable.”

It was also reported that after the death of Loretta’s father, she and her children inherited most of their father’s assets while her brother, Mitchell was cut out from it for the most part, as reported by CBC. He decided to get back at his sister by taking away her husband of over 20 years, Chris and their children.

After Mitchell launched the violent attack on Loretta’s family, he has left her devastated from the loss, and heartbroken from the death of her three children, 20-year-old Bradley, 15-year-old Adelaide, and 11-year-old Joseph. Her oldest son, Sam survived because he was not at home when the gruesome attack took place.

“They were the best of me,” Loretta said at their funeral. “I have lost so many parts of me that make me a better person.”

In her emotional eulogy, Loretta said as quoted by CTV News, “I am so proud to be Chris’ wife. I love him with everything that I have. I am so proud to be Bradley’s mom. He was one of the kindest spirits to ever walk the face of this earth. And I am so proud to be Adelaide’s mom. Her heart was pure as gold. And I am so proud to be Joey’s mom. He was innocent and happy and he had the biggest dreams of all of us.”

The grieving mother added, “My last words to each of them was that I loved them.”

Her oldest son, Sam, who was not at home during the violent shooting that killed his family members, said, “The happiness that they brought us is greater than any evil,” as quoted by CBC.

“I wish with all my heart that it could have been longer and we could have all gone through life together,” Sam added, wishing his dad would have been around for his graduation and wishing he could have made more memories with his siblings.

As Loretta sat in her wheelchair at St. Mary of the People Parish in Oshawa, according to CTV News, she told the service-attenders that the death of her husband and children has sent her to “dark places.” But she also added, “…what I have to take with me is that light that I have found from all of you. You have given me a lens into my family’s lives that I didn’t have and that is a gift for which I am forever grateful.”

Tracy Ineichen is a 28-year-old mom of a sweet baby girl named Brier. Sadly, this woman had made a minor offence and ended up serving prison time so her little girl was left in the care of her grandma Annette.

Although Tracy knew Brier was in safe hands, she felt something could be wrong after her mom and her daughter didn’t show up to visit her in prison when they arranged.

Worried, she called her boyfriend Anthony and asked him to check up on Annette and Brier. What he stumbled upon left him in a complete shock.

The house was quiet and once he entered inside he saw Brier in her crib, all scared and confused. He inspected the place and the moment he entered the bedroom he noticed Annette’s lifeless body.

It was determined that Annette died of natural causes.

When she learned of her mother’s passing, Tracy was left heartbroken. She was also very sad that she wasn’t by her daughter’s side. Luckily, Anthony was there to take great care of the girl while she was recovering from the stress.

Although he isn’t her biological father, he was more than happy to look after sweet Brier until she was placed in a foster family by the social services.

“I’m basically like her godfather,” he says, as per WVLT.

“Throughout her whole life, her short little fifteen months that she’s been here, I’ve tried to help her out.”

Thankfully, Tracy is now out and reunited with her daughter. She’s now a completely new person and makes sure she stays out of trouble because she wants to be someone her daughter will look up to when she grows older.

Who could have thought that the big and brave German shepherd could be afraid of water. Although this breed is known for their courage and their service in the army and the military forces, they are allowed to be vulnerable at times and to have their own fears. This particular dog hesitates to go near the family’s new water sprinkler. He barks at it not knowing it will become the best ‘toy’ he’s ever played with.

Watching from the distance, the dog nervously stares at the water coming from the sprinkler as his little baby brother encourages him to come forward. It’s so sweet to watch how the little buddy point to it with his tiny finger as though he says, “Don’t be afraid, this is so much fun” and then demonstrates how it works. While the mom watches the two ‘talking’ she starts laughing.

Once the German Shepherd is convinced the water won’t hurt him, he approaches near the sprinkler and that’s when the real fun starts. Watching the dog play with the water is beyond hilarious. He is so excited that he goes completely nuts and can’t stop running around. The fear is now gone and all he has to do is enjoy even more.

What a rescue!

A man named Prentiss Weatherford from Louisville, Kentucky, was a witness to a child kidnapping while he was staying outside his home in early July.

There is nothing scarier and more terrifying for a parent than when a child is abducted. They are left fearing for their little one’s life and feel powerless, so most times, in situations like that, what they can do is wait, pray, and put their faith in the authorities to get their precious jewel home safe and sound.

When he saw his six-year-old neighbor being grabbed by the collar out of her bike and tossed inside a car, Weatherford rushed into his vehicle and started chasing the kidnapper. Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to catch him but was able to identify the type of car he was driving, a red Dodge Challenger, and memorize he last three digits of his license plate.

As it turned out, it was enough information for the police to act and track down the suspect. Weatherford alerted the police of the kidnapping and also told them that the suspect was a white man with dark hair.

An entire division of the Lousiville police department got involved into the search of the little girl. Shortly after, two police officers, Sergeant Joe Keeling and Officer Jason Burba, spotted the suspect and asked him to get down on his knees. When they opened the car’s door, they could see the girl inside, crying and looking for her daddy.

Thanks to the brave neighbor who ran into action and the officers who joined in the search, the girl was taken back to her family.

Weatherford’s action was praised by the entire community. Speaking to Inside Edition, he said: “Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it and just hope you guys would do the same in that situation.”

In case we find ourselves in a similar situation where we witness someone is kidnapped or abused in any way, it is our responsibility to step in, or at least alert the authorities.

The oldest daughter of the celeb couple, Gracie is 23, Maggie is 22, and the youngest one, Audrey, is 19. The girls all resemble their beautiful mom and their parents have always tried to provide them with a normal childhood as much as it is possible.

Audrey was born eight weeks premature, on December 6, 2001, and now the family says they start the Christmas celebration a bit early ever since she was born.

“Seventeen years ago, this little precious jewel came almost eight weeks early to us!” Tim wrote on Instagram two years ago. “So tiny, but so strong!” Faith also spoke of her daughter’s birth and Christmas and told Good Housekeeping in 2007, “So this time of year just feels extra-special to us. And now, every year, to celebrate Audrey’s birthday, we decorate the tree on the sixth.”

“It’s a little bit of a challenge, keeping a live tree fresh for the entire month of December. But there’s no other way we’d do it: We decorate on the sixth, and it has to be a live tree.”

A man named Steven Hildreth Jr. was pulled over by a Tucson Police officer because of a broken headlight. But as it turned out, the officer had questions. He wanted to know if Steven had any weapons, to which he said yes. He explained that he had a gun but had a permit for carrying one.

Then the officer asked for the man’s licence and registration. As he had them in his right pocket, the officer had to disarm him so that he could reach his wallet.

Steven shared the rest of the story on his Facebook page and it quickly went viral with more than 600,000 shares.

“So, I’m driving to my office to turn in my weekly paperwork. A headlight is out. I see a Tucson Police Department squad vehicle turn around and follow me. I’m already preparing for the stop.

“The lights go on and I pull over. The officer asks me how I’m doing, and then asks if I have any weapons.”

“Yes, sir. I’m a concealed carry permit holder and my weapon is located on my right hip. My wallet is in my back-right pocket.”

“The officer explains for his safety and mine, he needs to disarm me for the stop. I understand, and I unlock the vehicle. I explain that I’m running a 7TS ALS holster but from the angle, the second officer can’t unholster it. Lead officer asks me to step out, and I do so slowly. Officer relieves me of my Glock and compliments the X300U I’m running on it. He also sees my military ID and I tell him I’m with the National Guard.

“Lead officer points out my registration card is out of date but he knows my registration is up to date. He goes back to run my license. I know he’s got me on at least two infractions. I’m thinking of how to pay them.

“Officers return with my Glock in an evidence back, locked and cleared.”

“Because you were cool with us and didn’t give us grief, I’m just going to leave it at a verbal warning. Get that headlight fixed as soon as possible.”

I smile. “Thank you, sir.”

“I’m a black man wearing a hoodie and strapped. According to certain social movements, I shouldn’t be alive right now because the police are allegedly out to kill minorities.

“Maybe…just maybe…that notion is bunk.

Maybe if you treat police officers with respect, they will do the same to you.
Police officers are people, too. By far and large, most are good people and they’re not out to get you.

“I’d like to thank those two officers and TPD in general for another professional contact.”

“We talk so much about the bad apples who shouldn’t be wearing a badge. I’d like to spread the word about an example of men who earned their badges and exemplify what that badge stands for.”

Born Anthony Dominick Benedetto on August 3, 1926, in Queens, New York, legendary musician Tony Bennett started his career in the most unexpected way. When he was still very young, he started working as a waiter at an Italian restaurant located in his neighborhood. Soon after, he started singing while serving food to the guests. “I loved that time of my life, and I honestly feel that, if I hadn’t made it professionally, I would be perfectly happy going back to being a singing waiter,” Bennett shared with The San Diego Union-Tribune .

After he learned that entertaining audiences was his calling, Bennett started studying singing at the American Theatre Wing just after his service in the war was over. His singing coach, Mimi Spencer, was probably the person who impacted his career a great deal. She would always say to him not to imitate other singers, but musicians instead.

“That’s the same thing that Billie Holiday said in her book, that she imitated Louis Armstrong. I imitated (jazz pianist) Art Tatum. He held on to the basic melody like a rock, but his chords and sense of accompaniment were astounding.”

By 1949, or until he met singer, comedian, and performer Bob Hope, Bennett performed under the name Joe Bari. That, however, changed as Hope believed Tony Bennett was just the perfect fit.

During his career of many years, Bennett released 60 studio albums, 11 live albums, and sold 50 million records worldwide. He has a huge number of hits which brought him numerous awards, but one song in particular, I Left My Heart in San Francisco, is what defined his singing career.

Speaking of it, Bennett recalled how he first heard it while he was on the way to San Francisco with Ralph Sharon who said: “You have to listen to this song.”

“And on that trip, we had a show at a little club in Hot Springs, Arkansas. We were rehearsing the song and a musician came over and said: ‘If you record that song, it’s going to be a big hit’.

“So when we got to San Francisco, we started performing it and everybody said ‘Where did you find that song? You need to record it right away.’ We recorded it and, sure enough, it became the biggest record I ever had,” Bennett recalled.

The song is so important, not only to Bennett, but the entire country, that in 2018, it was it was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically, or artistically significant.”

In recent years, Bennett has been performing with huge names such as late Amy Winehouse and Lady Gaga. Sadly, back in 2016, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but it wasn’t until 2018 that he started to show signs of the disease.

The good thing is that despite he’s experiencing cognitive issues, “multiple other areas of his brain are still resilient and functioning well,” as per his neurologist, Dr. Gayartri Devi.

“He is doing so many things at 94. He really is the symbol of hope for someone with a cognitive disorder,” Dr. Devi said, adding how Bennett’s wife, Susan, is to be thanked for her “level of devotion.”

“I’ve been humbled by [her]. She also expects a lot from him. I think her background as a teacher helps, but she’s also very much in love with him. And he rises to her expectations.”

Earlier this month, Bennett was spotted at the Tony’s MTV Unplugged Concert, where he performed with Lady Gaga. He was accompanied by his wife.

In August, he is expected to perform at the New York’s Radio City Music Hall along with Lady Gaga, coinciding with his 95th birthday. As per CNN it would be their final performance together and a final performance in his career. It’s “set appropriately at a venue that Tony has enjoyed a multi-decade run of sold-out shows,” the released press said.

In addition to being one of the most famous musicians there are, Bennett is also a painter. He signs all his paintings with his born name, Anthony Benedetto.
