I remember the dress and that my grandmother, Mary Violet Kos Koss, purchased the corsage and it was worn to the church service. I even recall where they attended, St. Joseph’s Croatian [Roman] Catholic Church in Glen Park, Gary, Lake, Indiana. I didn’t go with them because the mass was in Croatian; instead, my mother and I walked a block to attend services at St. Mark’s [Roman] Catholic Church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s what the colorization looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was not my great grandmother’s skin tone in winter; she was quiet pale. Actually, it wasn’t even her tone in the summer as she didn’t go out in the sun.\u00a0 The dress was green and white.\u00a0 The corsage was silver with red balls and a green ribbon.\u00a0 I know this because I was there.\u00a0 I also played with the corsage and tried to affix it to my cat’s collar after the holidays.\u00a0 I thought that corsage was just awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you’d like to colorize your photos you can do so at MyHeritage<\/a>.
