He started 11-16-11. If I had not spoken with you via e-mail I might have listen to his pediatrician who wanted to diagnose my son as having ADD or ADHD giving him harmful medication that he did not need. Thanks again for listening.” - Sincerely a Happy Mother Tomeka “As a Black professional male model. You have changed my life as an entirety. Many emotions have taken exit as well as strengthen the ones of default. I'm writing you out of assurance that your words heal, as if never before you've been assured. If I had the time to stress thanks as to whom did this for me I would be here all day thanking you. Safe to say you woke a conscious on such broad spectrum that it will dedicate the rest of its consciousness in the wakening of others on a broad spectrum, life rather.” - Matt Coleman The nationally accredited DeSoto Parks and Recreation Department (DPARD) is a local, regional and national award-winning department located in suburban Dallas.
