My Grandma's Sisters

As a kid, I noticed something magical always took place when my grandma's sisters and her were in the same room. They each had unique personalities as all people do but the thing that really sticks out in my mind most is that there usually was laughter in the room when they were around.

Here's a picture I came across earlier this year that I call "Hey girl, let me tell you something."

                                From left to right-- Loris, Mary (my grandma), Rosa,
and Eloise

I think this was at my Aunt Rosa's house in Queens, but I have to double check with my Mom. I just get the impression that my Aunt Loris is about to tell something funny to out top the last story that was just shared in the room.


Loris Melba Bryant Gwynn Helton (January 2, 1918--December 14, 1987)

 


Eloise Bryant Grigsby (July 5, 1927--May 9, 1999)


Grandma, my brother, cousin Bryan, and Aunt Rosa

 This last picture is what I so remember about my childhood. Whenever there was a family get together....the sisters would always drift together.
