friendships and good feeling between all creeds at that time.
You weren’t properly married until you had a picture from Boris.
She brings back the warm friendship that existed. For all the happy
memories I wouldn’t want to go back.

story. Pleased to meet you, Millie. Thank you, GA, for making the introductions.
Onward and upward.

GA, lovely story about a woman who has lived her life well and the serenity in her face shows it. Beautiful wedding picture too. Forgot how overwhelming bridal bouquets were in those days …

Good luck and good health to Milly.

Her life wasn’t easy but there is no trace of complaint, rather a tribute to the Jewish community and its support systems. Loved the photos of her today and the Boris of Whitechapel wedding picture.
