Jeff Pezzell and his wife Nancy sat down to eat at Leo's Coney Island on Telegraph Road in Taylor on Wednesday and couldn't believe what happened next...

While eating their meal a note was handed to his wife handwritten on a napkin, the anonymous letter read:

"I am fighting the fight also. I seen your hat and your port. I am currently receiving chemo also. Take this and put it towards your lunch. God bless you and stay strong."

The note ended with, "No warrior fights alone!"

Nancy has been battling cancer since January, and chemo treatments began in March.

In a Facebook post, Jeff wrote a letter of thanks to another customer at Leo's for the touching gesture that was made.

"To the person(s) that noticed that my wife is receiving chemo for cancer who anonymously had a server at Leo's Coney Island on Telegraph in Taylor pass my wife a hand written note and a very generous gift...," Jeff wrote. "... Thank you, Thank you and Thank you."

By Wednesday evening, the Facebook post had garnered over 3,000 reactions and nearly 200 comments.

Big Jim and Erin also had Jeff on the Housecast to talk about that day...

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
