These Lakewood residents, including Mayor Larry Van Nostran, came to my house on April 16 to help me with yard work that I'm having a hard time with these days. My late husband, Juan, and I became involved in Lakewood activities in the 1970s. We coached for many years in Lakewood Youth Sports at Bloomfield Park. Since Juan passed away, the work in the yard and on the outside of the house has gotten to be too much for me at times. I was so grateful that my Lakewood neighbors pitched in to help me on Volunteer Day. They cleared out overgrown weeds, trimmed plants and even did some touch-up painting. My house looks so nice now. I understand many other Lakewood residents were also helped on Volunteer Day. Thank you so much to my friends and neighbors in Lakewood. Words can't fully express my gratitude.
