Grandpa Joe passed away last week, it has been such a sad time for us. But he'd been sick for a bit. So, when we found out that Grandpa Joe was in Hospice and it was imminent that time was extremely short, John (my husband) and I started to gather some of the old photographs that we have.
Well Susan had invited me over for lunch and asked that I bring the photographs... I did. This way we'd have some nice images to display at the services. I took these images and others from the 40's, 50s, 60s, allll the way to the present and made a collage, it was a big hit! Everyone loved looking at those old pictures! It was a great way to remember what a fun and charming man Joe was!
And I'd like to show you the before and after's.

Notice how Grandpa looks much smoother and I don't have dark circles under my eyes! And she zoomed in on the image so that we were front, and the back round isn't as dark. Gosh, she's a magician!

This is my favorite picture! It was taken about 7 years ago, and he just looks so happy! I love his smile, it just warms you through and through! She brought more light to Peggy, and softened up Grandpa, got rid of a sore above his mouth, and best of all, he still looks like himself!
Thank you Susan for helping me create photographs that will be with the family forever!

So sorry to hear about your loss.
I'm glad you went thru the process of gathering photographs though - it must have been very healing.
It was an honor to help you with the images of Grandpa Joe. He must have been a wonderful kind, funny man and I know you will miss him. He has the most sparkly eyes. Thank you for friendship and trusting me with this very special job! Hugs, Susan
