This really needs to be rescanned at a much higher resolution.
This is a very low 72 dpi and should be  at least 300dpi to get a good result

Hi

I had a try with some freebee enlarging software and then Photoshop.  Not too good, I'm afraid.

I think that it would be best if you can do what Irene suggests and rescan at as high a resolution as you can but with no compression. Details are at the top of the board.

Not much to work with there unfortunately.
As Niksmum says, if you can have the photo scanned at 300 dots per inch, (or higher) you will have an increased chance of a usable result.

To keep the scanned image file size down try to scan just the area around your mum. We would be cutting the rest off anyway.

Here's a rough cut for now.

I am sorry to say that this has also been rescanned at 72dpi 
 
You need to adjust your scanner properties to 300dpi
