We are so very sorry to learn of Mrs. Doris' passing! The Parker Family were the best neighbors as we grew up on Marlboro Rd. in N.Chas. Hoping fond memories and prayers of those who care will help console you in your time of grief. So sorry we can't physically be with you, but certainly will be with you in spirit and prayer!
