  1. ...Heartbreaking yet they are all so beautiful.

    ...I love how the paper clipping on the second from the last photo of the gorgeous little girl reads, "Death saw strange beauty on that Infants brow, and dashed it out."... Wonderful albeit morbid collection.

    ...Happy Halloween!

    ...Blessings :o)
