Theresa Gault spent a portion of Mother’s Day enjoying four main entrees as part of a catered buffet, but more meaningful to her was sharing the meal with four generations.

“It’s beautiful,” the McDonald woman said, referring to Sunday’s Mother’s Day buffet at Mill Creek MetroParks’ D.D. and Velma Davis Education & Visitor Center, 123 McKinley Ave. on the West Side. “I have been looking forward to this, and the lunch was delicious.”

Hosting the four-hour gathering was Friends Specialty at the Garden Café.

Joining Gault for the festive occasion were several family members, including her daughter, Patti Mosure; her granddaughter, Cassie Oles; and great-grandchildren, Cameron Oles, 1, and Noah Oles, 2, all of Canfield. Also on hand was Cassie Oles’ brother, Jake Mosure of Pittsburgh.

In all, Gault has eight children, 21 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Taking Gault to the lunch was just one way Patti Mosure wanted to show her thanks and gratitude toward her mother, who she said has always been there for her. Gault also was influential and instrumental in the way Mosure raised her family, she continued.

“We wanted to do this as an appreciation for everything she’s done for us. I learned from the best,” Patti said, adding that she likes to refer to Gault as “Mother Teresa.”
