"Pat was one of my employees, she worked for me for about 6 years before she retired. She is a sweet and harmless woman. My wife and other employees will be checking in on her. Any help that can be afforded to her would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Somers Point PD. You can reach out to The Honey Tree, she is part of this family."

🔺Theresa M expressed anger at the brazenness of the thug,

"In broad daylight! Be careful out there folks, this world has gone mad!"

🔺Robert S laments the changes he has observed in the community,

"I’ve seen a big change in the last 6 months alone, lots of vagrants. I’m asked for money at Wawa and CVS all the time."

🔺Renee M does a good job summing up the feelings of most posters, 

"How evil are you to attack an 83-year-old?? I pray she is ok."
