Your mother was loved by me & my family since almost the day I was born,( i n 1934). We often visited Marj.'s parents on Florence St. along with Marjorie & Joyce. Dorothy & Leo were like second parents to me. They even took me up north one summer for a vacation along with Marj. & Gord. I don't think that Marj. & Gord got too much privacy that summer. I also visited them on Fellner Ave. and wish that I had kept up with the relationship because they were a fun couple. You had wonderful parents.
