The Mother's Day event held yesterday was truly memorable, thanks to the contributions of several key individuals. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my sister, Cheri Scates, who traveled from Maryland and arrived promptly at 5:45 am to assist with setup, even though I had informed her to come at 6 am. I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to Catherine Williams-Hill for the delicious food, Horton N Horton and Wendy Rojas for the impressive horse, balloons, and backdrop, Jemeka Summerall for creating the Boots and Cowboy Hat wood prop, Londyn and Aniqua for their exceptional eyelash and henna services, Nisha No-Grain Rice and daughter for their valuable contribution, and Vera 'Jeannie' Scates-Barefield, LaToya M Scates-Griffin, Shanna Denise, Tiana C Dunkins, Shay Wilson-Dunkins, Denise Green, and Joann Boggan for their unwavering support and assistance throughout the event.
