Mrs. Dumas is a Matricarch of the entire Fernwood Family. She will always be remembered for her warm smile and soft kind voice to all the neighborhood kids. Corky, Mark, Janet and Leslie were the children from her family that I ran up and down Fernwood with. You are so blessed to have her as a Mother and wonderful lady she will always be remembered for. Thank you for sharing her with us on Fernwood. We are so blessed to have had one of God's special Mothers in our midst. I Love you All!

Mrs. Dumas was one of the Mother's of my childhood neighborhood. All the children that grew up on our block in Toledo, Ohio back then knew her. We were one big happy family. Thank you for the good old days! I'll always keep the memories!
