In an odd twist of fate, when my Mom passed away in 2015, it was on her Mother's birthday, November 10th. This picture of them which would have been taken in 1934, was very badly damaged. I spent ages restoring it and then had it printed on a very large canvas for Mom's 70th birthday. My grandmother, as you can see, was quite the serious lady and my Mom Inherited her extremely dark eyes. Funny how old photos weren’t very important to me when I was younger, but now that I’m [mumble mumble] years old, I treasure them.
