Family of Yola Opyt,

You may not know me but My Late Father Benvenuto Croci often spoke with Yola about his past in Chicago. I learned of Yola's death from her Grandson Cory Anco in Cody Wyoming, That is where my Father resided. Yola may have been a distant relative to my father. I am still trying to search Ancestry. She told me that she was a Neice to Ermina Segalla, who may have been my fathers Aunt.

Anyway I am very sorry to hear of her passing. She and I spoke about 3 times about the past. Yola was a very interesting person and loved to reminisce the past.

My blessings to her family she leaves behind. She will be in gods graces forever, walking alongside those she loved in life.

Respectfully,
Paul Croci

My deepest sympathies on Yolanda's passing. She was one of the most affectionate and joyful people I have met. Lots of memories in a short time. Will miss her.

So very sorry to hear about Yolanda's ("Yoli's") passing. We became friends with her through Anne Ronzani and enjoyed many "coffee talks" and sweets with them both. Yolanda was always so very kind to our family and we will miss her -- Keeping her family in our prayers. With deepest sympathy, The Valente Family
