Okay so a little history....My grandparents had an arranged marriage.. Both born in Italy, my Grandfather was in the Italian AirForce..an Officier....after they were married my mother was born....4 years later her brother....at the time her brother was born they were stationed in Africa and he got sick with strep throat....my Papa wasn't a high enough ranking officier to get the penicillian Uncle Antonio needed so at 22 months he passed away. They all went back to Italy and then to here to America...New York. The land of opportunity. My Papa passed in 1970 and my Nana in 1975.... My mother has never had any really photographs in frames of her side....it was the only photo of my Uncle ever....Nana and Papa took his death so hard this photo was never out. When I stumbled upon it I took it, the photo of my mother (the little girl) and my grandparents took it to Archivers to reproduce the photo's then made this layout which is going into a 3D frame. I think she'll love it....What do you think?

So cute. I like your layout! I have a hard time with old B&W photos. I want to do them just right, and so I struggle to even get started.
This is an absolutely gorgeous layout and she will love it. Thanks for the story behind the layout but how sad. Your uncle was such a cute baby!
