My mom's HS graduation photo..
Patricia Ann Riley. Would have been around 1948, I believe. Love the rooster scatter pins on her sweater!My grandmother.....
Edith Irene (Holmes) Riley. Taken in the 40's sometime, I'm sure. She passed away several years ago. We called her Nannie. She was a statuesque lady of 5' 8"in her younger years, but oteoperosis did it's damage and prior to her death she was about 5" or so. Yes, I take my calcium :-)This is my favorite...
Mom, Nannie and Grandma Holmes (May Elizabeth), my great-grandmother, at the beach around 1945. Beautiful women all, and I'm proud of where I come from.
Your mom, grandmother and great grandmother are all beautiful ladies! I just love looking at their clothes. They were stylin! And their hair, I just love their hair styles! Those are some real Treasured pictures you have!
