Countdown to Mother’s Day My Days Remembered:

by Dr. J. Ester Davis (esterdavis2000@gmail.com)

Doretta Lawrence. Died at 86 Years of Age. She was the Mother of 9.

My Favorite Story:  Doretta Lawrence and her family lived quietly and happily on Exline Street in South Dallas.  She was widely known at church, school, and in several communities.  There were always children there to play with. There was an unwritten law on

that street:  “Street Closed: Children at Play”….. obeyed by all.

If you have an exceptional woman to highlight on this legendary subject, send me an

excellent picture, contact info, and a favorite moment/story.
