"My grandson Luke Thompson is so precious and giving and he loves helping others. He never was selfish or greedy.
"This is the way he is being brought by his awesome parents, my son Kevin and daughter-in-law Rebecca.
"Here he is helping in a food pantry before Thanksgiving. They were able to provide free dinners for over 200 families.
"Wish more parents were raising their children like this.
"Be good parents and teach your children to be givers, and not takers.
"Very proud.''
