Virtually together through Zoom, but...
... must go on, and it did! Here is another story of Steds moms gathering together from across the country to gather together and do their part their to bypass the Corona virus. Thanks to Zoom, these Steds moms and sons were able to virtually keep quarantine AND create an evening of reminiscing, laughter, and much more. Once again, never underestimate the resolve of Steds moms for their special weekend!
Present at our first Moms Zoom Weekend were Mothers Bennis, Collington, Foley, Kelly, and Rahill, and here is what they had to say.
Will Kelly's mom, Jill, shared, "We are all so sad not to be together with you this weekend. I just wanted you to know that we are all so very grateful for Steds bringing us together four years ago. Our sons have made a bond that will last a lifetime. We can’t thank Steds enough for the guidance, support, love and lots of laughter that has been shared with them. Oh, yes. We had on a virtual toast with all our boys and Moms this evening to keep our tradition alive!"
Denise Foley, mom of Chris, said, "Ok, not gonna lie. A bit teary eyed right now."
Mary Rahill, mom of Dan, said, "We buoyed your spirits just as you have buoyed all of ours! If it weren’t for St. Ed’s Moms' Weekend, we would not have the wonderful friendship we now share. Many blessings on Steds!"
Andrew Bennis' mom, Ruth, said, "This is getting me a little teary too. It just reminds me why Saint Edward's is such a special place. Father Ralph, we are even planning on getting this group together once a year. Hope you can join us!!!!"
Next, Sam's mom, Jennifer Collington, added, “When we raised our glasses we toasted not only to Mom’s Weekend but to the Yacht Dance, Founder’s Week, Mullets, Father Ralph, our sons, and all of the wonderful experiences shared at the oldest and most storied residence hall at Notre Dame, St Ed’s!”
... but remembering happier times...
... and the REAL Moms' Weekend!
