This is my Great-Grandmother. This photo shows exactly how she always looked to me. Her hair was all white and looked soft as fluffy cotton. She was not at all affectionate, so I never got a hug, or actually felt her hair, but I just knew it would be soft if I could touch it. --Kristy 14:01, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
