But, in the case of Mary Parker, when she heard what her best friend, Misty Saunders, had written about her, she was completely blown away.

It's so obvious that Misty thinks Mary hung the moon, or at least was there when the Good Lord put it in just the right spot.

Mary's kindness and overflowing heart are what we're celebrating this week, but we would have never known just how amazing she is if Misty hadn't written to tell us. Just read what Misty wrote about Mary in her nomination letter and you'll see just how easy it was to name her this week's recipient of the Kiss Country Caught in the Act Award.

I’d like to tell you about my best friend Mary Parker. Kindness is simply who she is. She has the biggest heart and would give the shirt off her back to anyone who needed it. She is genuinely happy for others. Even if you’ve done something bigger or better than she has, she’ll be the first to cheer you on and tell you how proud she is. She celebrates your happiness and accomplishments like they’re her own. When I got married, we didn’t have a wedding party - just a small family ceremony, but she wanted to stand beside me—so she got ordained just so she could marry us! That’s the kind of friend she is: she finds a way to show up and make you feel loved. She’s the kind of best friend that everyone seriously thinks is your sister—and in my heart, she absolutely is. She’s my sister, my best friend, my travel partner, and the one I call to vent, cry, or tell all about my good days. Through all the tears, laughter, adventures, and hard moments, she’s been right beside me. I know that no matter what, she’ll be there any time of the day or night. She just does what comes naturally to her—loving people with her whole heart.

Mary Parker, because you've been 'Caught in the Act' the gang at Ernest's Orleans Restaurant have a $100 gift certificate for you to come have dinner on them!
