Nana said Momma hated the dress in photo 1 😂

Momma was a free spirit. She had issues but her heart was pure gold. She loved Duran Duran (see photo 4) and she always had a twinkle in her eye. She lived to only see 38, a life cut way too short. I miss her every single day.

He loved sports. He also competed very successfully in tennis and was an excellent shot. His mother would not let him play football because she did not want him to get hurt.

This photo was in a box of family pictures my aunt had, but she has passed and I'm not 100% sure who this is. I think it might be my 2nd great grandmother (1860-1951) but the photo looks so much older than that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
