What a beautiful moment for our family. 💜
My mom, Lelia Cash Coley Royster, was recognized by Durham County on her 95th birthday with a special proclamation presented by Dr. Mike Lee, Chair of the Durham County Board of Commissioners.
She’s spent so many years serving faithfully at Tally Ho Missionary Baptist Church and has always given so much love, wisdom, and support to our family and community. This honor really meant a lot to all of us, and she truly deserves it.
It was so special seeing her legacy celebrated like this, and it’s a moment we’ll always cherish.
Happy 95th Birthday, Mom. You continue to inspire all of us every single day. 💜
