Honoring Yesterday & Celebrating Today Holiday Edition 🎄
This holiday season, we are proud to honor our very own Fran and the beautiful memories that have filled her heart with joy.
One of Fran’s favorite holiday traditions was singing all year long with her husband as part of a group called the Singing Angels. Together, they shared their voices at senior communities, spreading happiness, hope, and music wherever they went. We’ve even been lucky enough to welcome the Singing Angels right here into our own community a true gift for all of us.
Fran especially loved performing during the holidays, when everything she cherished came together: her love of singing, her strong faith, and the joy of celebrating the season with people she cared about.
Another treasured memory was visiting a nearby church that had created a small Village of Bethlehem. As she approached the shepherds singing carols, Fran did what came naturally—she simply joined in, lifting her voice and her spirit, doing what she loved most.
These moments remind us that honoring yesterday helps us celebrate today, especially when music, faith, and love lead the way. ✨🎶

Honoring Yesterday & Celebrating Today – Holiday Edition 🎄
This holiday season, we’re shining the spotlight on our very own Mary and the memories that made Christmas truly special for her family.
Mary’s favorite holidays were the years when everyone was together kids and grandkids filling the house with laughter. The days were spent eating, playing games, and then eating some more. One especially memorable year, a simple paper airplane kit turned the living room into a full-on flight zone, with planes soaring in every direction and lots of laughs to match.
And no Christmas was ever complete without a trip downstairs to her dad’s train garden in the basement. Mary played a big role in bringing it to life, helping create the beautiful backdrops that made the display so magical year after year.
Of course, the celebration always ended the same way full hearts, full bellies, and Tupperware packed with leftovers to take home.

Honoring Yesterday & Celebrating Today Holiday Edition 🎄✨
This holiday season, we are honored to feature Joanne and the special memories and traditions that made Christmas so meaningful to her family and community.
Joanne and her husband Paul were well known for bringing people together around the holidays, often welcoming neighbors into their home to celebrate the season. Joanne was a “famous” baker in her circles, always having an impressive collection of cookies and cakes ready to share with anyone who stopped by.
One cherished tradition included walking to church with neighbors on Christmas Eve, singing carols along the way. After Christmas Eve service, the celebration continued with a shared meal, followed by laughter and fun as the kids enjoyed piñata time at the neighbors’ house next door.
A beautiful reminder that the holidays are about community, warmth, and the simple traditions that stay with us forever. ❤️

Honoring Yesterday & Celebrating Today Holiday Edition 🎄🩷
This holiday season, we are proud to feature our very own Carmela and a Christmas tradition filled with love, traditions, and togetherness.
Some of Carmela’s favorite Christmas memories were made in her kitchen baking Christmas cookies and dancing around to Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” The celebration was always followed by her husband preparing the traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes, bringing family together around the table.
They would eat all day long, with two tables set up to welcome family and loved ones to celebrate. Laughter, full plates, and happy moments filled their Egg Harbor Township home.
The photos below tell a beautiful story spanning from Carmela parents hosting the Seven Fishes in her childhood home years ago to just last Sunday, when she continued the tradition by baking cookies with her grandchildren at her daughter’s home.
A beautiful reminder that traditions don’t fade they grow, carrying love from one generation to the next.
