This image looks great. The only thing that strikes me as not belonging it the strong halo effect around the man's head. Maybe cloning that part out would really help its authenticity.

Thank for the critic, it is greatly appreciated.
the picture is for my mother, I want the photo to be as close as possible to
perfection(even if perfection is out of this world.

As far as perfection goes, you've pretty much nailed it. Working with an old photo pretty much limits the range of possibilities without spending hours on it. I still see a bit of the halo effect around the man's chin though. Other than that, you're there.
