Every Block Should Have a ‘Shawn’

Dear Editor:

My Bride and I received a most welcomed phone call of concern just after noon on Saturday, December 31, from one of our “younger” neighbors, who took it upon himself to check in with his neighbors to see if we needed any help with prior damage from flooding from the earlier storm or help to prepare us for the next storm that was following shortly thereafter.  He took it upon himself, with his Sump Pump in hand, to offer his assistance to assist his neighbors!

Betrose Court residents are so blessed to have Shawn Smith as our neighbor.  I hope other streets are also so blessed with someone who has or will step up as Shawn has.
