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.
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.
So sorry for your loss
She will be missed
