1961 - Mum's father dies

So Mum’s father died.  He was the last of my grandparents to go.  One generation let go and another took over.  The third generation thought it was nothing to do with them.

 

I often wonder why Mum had so many pictures of grandfather’s funeral flowers in her album.  Whether it was a way of saying goodbye, her grieving, nervousness at the new graveside, or simply that she loved the flowers.  But then I have a vague memory that I took these pictures, and the mystery thickens.
