Hi 'Mog

What a sad story for the little one.  We don't know how lucky we are do we?  I hope she has a happy life now

 I popped her through a filter, not sure if it is better or not  :-\

Dear Lones
You have got it just right
It is superb
As a little girl she had very dark auburn hair and dark red brown hazel eyes
It's just perfect
Thank you

Hi Cheshiremog

You are very welcome, I am glad it is to your liking and I got the colours correct.  She is a little honey and her story touched my heart. 

Best wishes to you and your little sister

I didn't do any restoration work, just coloring.

What a wonderful job everyone has done on this lovely picture.  I feel quite attached to it as I have one of myself very similar with Santa  ;D.   My hair is the same colour and length and I'm also  wearing a white ribbon!  ;D

Thank you, Cheshiremog.
I always imagine that photos such as this would have been bright, cheery, and colorful.
Even though the original photo was taken in b&w, we know for certain that the actual moment was in color.
