Tia Sara is the one on the far left, then Anita and then Maria:
None of the sisters had children and only Sara married. The postcard we found is curious because it was sent from South Dakota, addressed to Anita, and sent from "tu hijita, la gringita Gloria" which translates to "your daughter, the American Gloria." We hope to find more information about Gloria and her relationship to Anita as we go through the box of letters.
Below is the postcard from and back:
