This is a picture taken in 1928 of my Mom's side of the family. She was six years old, and the baby girl in her family of eight children. Her parents were well into their forties when she was born! She is the little dark haired girl with the pixie cut sitting on her mom's lap on the second row, just to the right of center. To her left is her oldest sister and her husband. Looking at them, their age differences are obvious! I never knew my maternal Grandfather, however, I love him with all my heart. He was a precious God-fearing man who loved his family with all that he had. And my maternal Grandmother, Mama Jennie (after whom I am named), was a part of my life every single day from my birth until she passed away when I was in fifth grade. She lived with us; such a great blessing for me! I love this picture. In it are many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a great-grandfather, many of whom I never knew.
