Too many fond memories to mention but Doris was one of my Southgate guardian mothers. This generation will never experience growing up in a neighborhood of love - Block parties, camping, ice skating, tree houses, backyard tents - priceless. Thank you, bless you, Doris and after hugging Bob give a wave to my folks and Deb, too!
