Take THAT, Jola!

Memoriam In Loving Memory of my beloved son Alan Ferraro I'm sorry I did not have the opportunity to see you before God called. I tried but your wife, Jola, would not let me talk to you on the telephone or she would not let me in the house. She forbid me and the family from coming to your memorial mass. I know you reached out to me, I'm sorry we had interference from Jola. You will always be in my heart. Love you always, Mom, Sarah Ferraro (H/T to Peter Elikann)

She certainly got around!

Outgoing and with many friends, she described teaching herself, at age 15, how to smoke in front of a mirror before trying, with less success, to teach her mother to smoke. Later, during the war years, she maintained engagements to several young soldiers in order to "give them hope."
