Happy Mother’s Day! 💐

Today, we celebrate the love, strength, and endless care that moms bring to our lives. Whether it's been a quiet moment over coffee, a reassuring hug, or years of quiet sacrifices, her love shaped us in ways words can’t fully capture.

We’d be remiss not to honor the heart of this home — Eldora "Dora" Granger, devoted mother of seven and a guiding light to so many. A Sunday school teacher and literacy champion, Dora had a gift for nurturing young hearts and minds. She believed every child deserved love, care, and the joy of learning — and her spirit still lives in these halls.

Wishing all the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures a day filled with joy, warmth, and all the love they so freely give. 💖
