“Mothers are flowers in the garden of life.”

 

Whether you are a mother, have a mother, or love someone like a mother, there’s no better reason to celebrate! DePaul sites in New York, North Carolina and South Carolina honored mothers with corsages, candy bouquets, tea parties, festive crafts and much more.

DePaul residents also shared memories, advice, activities and ways they strive to emulate their mother or a female role model!

 

“I loved listening to her while she played the piano.” 

“She taught me to be respectful, to love others and to never lie.”

“Be kind and gentle to everyone.”

“I’ll always remember how pretty her smile was!”

“Pick good people to be around and never marry someone who doesn’t open doors for you.”

“NOBODY could fry chicken like my Mama.”
