“Please help save my family – we cannot get to the roof with five small children.”  That was the desperate text that Jacqueline Smooke got at 4 a.m. from Cecile Diederiches de Marquez as water poured into her house, a result of Hurricane Harvey. Right away, Jacqueline posted the dilemma on Facebook. Keri Henry saw it and organized a boat parade to the Memorial Bend area, which later included Fonn Villas.
