LITTLE ROCK, AR (KTRK) -- A simple act of kindness left one mom speechless inside of an Olive Garden restaurant.

Dallas French and her family were having a long, stressful day. Her 4-month-old daughter, Ellee, was sick and tested positive for E. coli at Arkansas Children's Hospital. French said that after her daughter's hospital visit, the family stopped at an Olive Garden.
