An Ohio restaurant has made a dying woman's bittersweet last wish come true, by shipping a milkshake to her deathbed across the US.
Emily Pomeranz, who was in a hospice near Washington DC with pancreatic cancer, had a hankering to taste a mocha shake from her hometown diner.
She told her friend, Sam Klein, and he contacted Tommy's in Cleveland Heights to arrange the long-distance order.
"She said with a smile, 'I wish I could have one more Tommy's mocha milkshake,'" Mr Klein said.
We will figure out a way to do this,' is what he said," Mr Klein said in a Facebook post.
"I wasn't even sure if we'd be able to do it," he said, adding that those involved had dubbed it the milkshake mission.
Mr Fello put the beverage on dry ice and paid $123 (£93) for overnight shipping 370 miles (600km) across the country. »
