Farewell Aunt Annie

The following portrait of Mom and Dad (Hazel and Murray Fraser) was taken at 400 St. Charles Street when Aunt Annie was in Winnipeg for a visit. A letter from her dated January 22, 1974 acknowledged receipt of the portrait:
The pictures came yesterday. Many thanks. Very good too, only that old lady you have out in front doesn't add any glamour.

This may well have been the last photo of Aunt Annie. She passed away just two months later, on March 30, 1974, at age 82.
