The upper photo is of Bubba Rose and Zaida Sam. The person in-between them is labeled as Bubba. I am assuming that she is Zaida's mother. They both look a little younger than they do in the next photo and she wasn't alive when I was born. She was the third wife and the great-grandmother of mine, and your's Rhea and Ellen, Judy, Arline, Sheryl and Roslyn and all of our extended cousins.
Below is a picture of Bubba and Zaida holding me as a new born in Brooklyn in front of Grandma Bella and Grandpa Joe's Store/house. 1944

When grandpa Bill left the Navy, be and Grandma Elaine and Bubba and Zaida took a trip across country to see (I think it was Harriet but it could have been Esther) in California. Here we are in Arizona
I took this of Zaida when he was dying. I was pre-teen and it was my job to sit with him while Bubba went out. I would sit for what seemed hours, watching him breathe shallowly. Every once in a while he would seem to stop breathing and I was sure he was dead. I would sit quietly waiting for someone to come in and find his body. It was my job as I was the oldest grandchild. I refused every funeral after that until my sister died.

I think this must be Bubba with Roslyn or Sheryl. If it is, it is 14-16 years after the pictures taken with me. Note that in those pictures she is also wearing a polka-dot dress. She has aged a lot in 14 years.

Bubba- Grandpa Bill must have taken this picture. He loved posing us in the nooks of trees.
