(MY FAITH NEWS) – Most of us have experienced mail delays at least once in our lives. Maybe it was one day, one week, or even one year, but a widow from Massachusetts received a letter that was sent from her husband over 76 years ago. Army Sergeant John Gonsalves who was stationed in Germany during World War II. penned a letter to his mother who lived in Woburn Massachusetts, but unfortunately, his mother never received the letter because it got lost in the mail.
Now, flash-forward to 2022, the USPS found the letter and was able to track down Gonsalves’ widow named Angelina. Sgt. John Gonsalves died in 2015 and his mother has since passed away, but the USPS managed to track down Gonsalves’ widow.
Angelina Gonsalves, who is now 89-years-old. was overjoyed to receive the letter and said this Christmas was the best one she has had since her husband passed away in 2015. She knew the letter was 100% authentic because it contained the same exact handwriting as her husband.
