VANCOUVER, Wash. -

A Facebook photo showing workers at a Vancouver, Wash. coffee shop praying with a customer has gone viral.

Barbara Danner said that she was at the drive-thru of the Dutch Bros. Coffee Friday when she snapped a photo of the emotional encounter.

The workers were praying with a woman whose husband had died the night before.

"Turns out the young lady in line ahead of us lost her 37-year-old husband last night," Danner said. "When the DB guys & gals noticed she was falling apart, they stopped everything and prayed with her for several minutes, invited her to come back for prayer and support, as well as anything else that she might need."

Danner posted the photo to the Dutch Bros. Facebook page early Saturday morning and since then, it's been shared more than 85,000 times, has 294,000 likes and more than 10,000 comments.

Pierce Dunn, one of the employees in the photo, told NBC affiliate King 5 that they were trying to empathize with the grieving woman.
"She was showing raw emotion towards us so we gave it right back to her," Dunn said.
