After years of dreaming of attending a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game, Helen Holle’s dream finally came true.

Dr.Easterday of the Elsberry Health Care Center surprised Holle with Cardinals Baseball tickets for her birthday. The game took place on the evening ofAug. 21, with the Cardinals winning 5-2 against the Florida Marlins.

"It was the best day I ever had,” said Holle.
This random act of kindness moved workers of the Health Care Center so much that one employee, Lisa Richardson of Elsberry, nominated Easterday for 99.9FM KFAV’s weekly Random Act of Kindness Award.

“Dr. David Easterday should be considered for the Random Act of Kindness because he comes to see several of our residents and there is one resident in particular, Helen Holle, who has always been a huge Cardinals fan. He invited Helen to join him at the Cardinals game on August 21 for her birthday,” said Richardson.

“It's not everyday a person has a wish come true and Helen's did because of the kind-hearted actions of Dr. Easterday. His actions should be recognized,” said Richardson.

Steve Kaspar, part owner of Kaspar Broadcasting Company surprised Dr. Easterday at his work with an on-the-spot live radio interview and presented him with a dozen roses donated by the Troy Flower and Gift Shop. Present were his wife, daughter, Holle, Richardson and many other loving friends and co-workers.
