Dear Aunt Yola. I am writing again because you were so special to me. I always remember my father telling me how much I reminded him of you. We were like two peas in a pod. You taught me how to special my last name. You were the only one who could. You had the patience of a saint with me. 11 letters was a lot to learn for a little girl. I always remember the wonderful times we had at family parties. You used to hid all the time cause you didn't want your picture taken but you couldn't hide from Freddie. He caught you time and time again and I'm so glad cause I now have wonderful photos to remember you and the movies. The special one is when you hid behind the car door and rolled up the window. How funny you were cause that window didn't cover you. That was priceless. My father took so many home movies which was a godsend because we will always have lasting loving memories of you and everyone who has passed in our family. I used to love to make you laugh. You had the cutest laugh and everything made you laugh. I used to tell you how beautiful you were and that you had the most beautiful skin. You got such a kick out of that and had such a shy and cute laugh. I will always remember you and will miss you. You fought a long hard battle and you were strong throughout. You were an inspiration to me and I will never forget all our wonderful visits. Love forever, your niece Frances Torreggiani-Woodruff
