I stopped by Gretchen's Hallmark on Atlantic Blvd. yesterday to look around and see the new items. I stopped in front of the card display to pick out a special card for my brother who just got diagnosed with brain cancer. Needless to say, I broke down crying and a very nice lady named Angie came and checked on me and helped me find a card and brought me to a section that had small items that people could put in their pockets for encouragement.

Anytime I come to this store, everyone is SO helpful!!...
