Grandma Holmes and her sisters

Grandma Helen Holmes her sisters and family

Here is a terrific photo of Mom and sisters. Probably taken around 1943. I am on the right and about 2 years old. Joyce (Eva's daughter) and Snookie (Aunt Pearl's daughter) are on the left.

From left to right: Aunt Pearl, Aunt Eva, Grandma Sculthorpe, Aunt Margie, and Mom. What a great picture!! This was taken probably in the house in Bradley Beach by the railroad tracks. Cookie was probably on the way or she would have been in the photo. I thin Aunt Pearl and Aunt Margie resembled Grandma a lot. Funny thing I noticed about Grandma - is she always looked old no matter what year photos were taken. Isn't that something? She had a very hard life. It shows.
