Carolyn DiMeo at the grave of a fallen Irish Soldier

Sandy Levesque in 2nd stage of mourning. Dead black silk dress sparingly trimmed at the sleeves and bodice,
silk bonnet with white lace and flowers under the brim. Antique silk veil with flowers. Plainer veils would only serve as being correct in first mourning.
 She is wearing an additional veil that has been pulled back for the picture. She had on solid black gloves but removed them as it was 88 degrees and 70% humidity that day...

Carolyn DiMeo at graveside.  Carolyn has on a dead black bonnet with a simple plain veil.
Dress of wool with a pleated coat sleeve, simply trimmed with braid and velvet ribbon.
