Although three generations of the Johnson-Clark family was present at the mother and daughter tea at Point of Honor Sunday, the maternal love swept back four.

JoAnn Johnsons mother, Helen Johnson, is deceased but was a special mom, a good mom, JoAnn recalled.

Seated beside JoAnn at Sundays event was her daughter, Angela Clark, who described her mom as an amazing person and the backbone of the family, Angela said.

She is our center of our universe; shes the glue to our family, she keeps us going, Angela said.

When asked what her mother meant to her, the response of 10-year-old Karrington Clark brought a tear and a kiss from her mother, Angela.

Shes sweet, shes caring, and whenever I need something, or I get on her nerves a lot, she loves me anyway, Karrington said of her mother.

Shes honest about when somethings wrong, and shell tell me how to make it right, Karrington said. She gives me good answers to questions that I need, and shes just amazing.

Sundays tea marked the third year the Lynchburg Museum has hosted the event at Point of Honor, the historic home of Dr. George Cabell. With 33 mothers and daughters attending, it was the biggest year by far, according to the events creator and museum educator & volunteer coordinator Whitney Roberts.

I thought it would be a good way for mothers and daughters to spend the Sunday before Mothers Day at beautiful Point of Honor, Roberts said.

Inside the sites carriage house, mothers and daughters enjoyed black tea and finger foods such as sandwiches and cookies on porcelain donated by museum volunteers. After the tea program, participants could do arts and crafts, such as creating monogrammed banners, or tour the historic house.

Anne Wood attended Sundays event and was accompanied by her daughter, Betsy Wood.

Betsy, who celebrates her ninth birthday today, said her mother means a lot to her.

Mostly I love her, Betsy said. She really encourages me a lot and helps me chase after my dreams.

Seated at a table full of arts and craft materials, Madysen Wolf shooed away her mother, Danielle Wolf, from seeing her creation before its completion: a banner comprised of paper flowers and stars.

At age 4, Avril Brunett lacked the words to articulate her thoughts on the importance of her mother.

You say, thank you a lot for taking care of you. You say that to me, and I think its so sweet, said Avrils mother, Allison Brunett.

What did you say on the way over here? Allison said to her daughter. You said, I thank God for mommy.
