click to enlargeI am back at square one with scrapping my mom's memorial book. I lost all of my pages in a computer crash earlier this year.
Amongst Mom's albums and things, I came across this photo of Mom as a young woman, together will all of us as little kids. Evelyn appears to be about a year old, which makes this circa 1975. I think that we were at Abuela's house (Julia) by the river. Mom looks so young, still.
In retrospect, she really must have been a woman of strong determination and must have had a pioneer spirit to leave her home, her parents and everything else behind, to come to the US, where she only knew only one person: her brother Geraldo. She remained in Trenton, N.J. until her death in Feb. 27, 2008.
