I took this portrait of my grandmother Alethea Williams, my mom's mom in December 2005( didn't realize it was that long ago!) in her living room on Gleaner Chapel Road in Scituate, Rhode Island. She agreed to pose for a picture for me and I had a film camera with old color film in it. I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I took a few shots and this one was my favorite because she seemed the least posed. On leaving the house I took the picture below of Gramma watching me leave. Gramma died this morning just after midnight. She lived to be 94. Photographs by Richard Sayer
Great picture! Gram's name is AL E THEA. Don't forget the E!!! She'll get upset with you!?!?!?

Thanks Mom. I don't think I ever knew how to spell Gramma's name. I guess since I didn't call her Alethea and when I did mail her something I just called her Gramma Williams. I think I fixed em all.

I just finished reading about your grandmother. I'm so sorry for your loss. I still think about my grandparents alot as they were such a positive influence in my life. You were so blessed to have her for such a long time! My thoughts and prayers are with you!

She was beautiful. I am sure she was proud of you as a grandson. With sympathy, Sue
