I only met Loretta a few times. She was so comfortable to be around it seemed like I'd known her all of my life. She and Grady made everyone feel welcome and at ease. I pray for God's Blessing for her family and friends as their hearts accept the loss of her in their daily lives.

It seems just yesterday that we move across the street from all of you, on Wicker. We were all so young. Loretta and Mother became like sisters. Loretta played a big part of our lives. I'm sure she and Mother will be have tea together soon.
