Our Lady might even smile at that one Elsie.

I would hope so!

Any thing that would lighten her image a bit.

I don't ever think I've seen a picture or sculpture of her SMILING...

I've noticed that too. But visionaries of Mary (the Church-approved ones) say that they feel only intense joy when they see her. That her beauty is incomparable. And I believe St. Bernadette [of Lourdes] said she was smiling [I'd have to double-check on that].

And for those who understand the tilma of Juan Diego as true, they will see that the picture ("Our Lady of Guadalupe") which was painted by God, shows Mary as not smiling, so there must be good reason for that.
