This is our mom. The mother of Karen, Joan, Betsey and I. I should have posted this picture yesterday, on Mother's day. When we went to Connecticut, Betsey had the original print of this photograph, so I made a quick copy. Our mom was beautiful, in so many ways, both outside and inside. She was so giving to all of us, and made so many sacrifices. It was wonderful to see this photograph of her in her wedding dress, a photograph I had not seen before

She certainly was beautiful, inside and out. And she was a wonderful mother-in-law too! I couldn't have been more fortunate.

I love that photo. Your Mother was a Grand Lady for sure!
She was beautiful and so patient and kind.

The photo had some flaws but I really wanted to save the image properly so I had it framed professionally.
So glad I did so I can hang it instead of "stashing" it in an album/drawer. I love the story of her wearing the same wedding dress that her twin sitter had worn previously. And to think that she sewed a wedding dress for her oldest daughter and then the other 2 daughters wore the same dress (with a few changes and alterations). She was very patient, creative - truly an "EveryWoman" who had so many interests - baking sewing, crafts, gardening...I am a fortunate daughter, indeed, to have had a mom her like.
