Loretta was my childhood friend . . . So many wonderful memories! I have thought of her so often over the years. I think of when she rode with me on my bike in the wee hours one morning down the middle of Barber street long before traffic would have prevented us. She was beautiful inside and out - so talented and intelligent.
Although we had lost touch with one another, it is with deep sadness that I read of her passing. My sincere condolences to all who loved her.
Loretta Juanita Mitchell Doyah. Gentle spirit. Brave. Survivor extraordinaire. Kind heart. Passionate. Empathetic. Happy for the happiness of others. Tough as a bull for family. Broken-hearted over cruelty of any kind. Loyal to a fault. Only wanted to be loved. She was, and she is.

Loretta my bff. We had many many good times together over the last 34 years. Some of the stories I could tell.... I know she was a blessing in my life as well as many others she knew. I will miss her always. It is not gonna be the same without my ' sidekick '. I am grateful that I got to spend 4 or 5 hours with her on Friday. We talked about many things. She had a long and happy life. Not without it's problems by any means. But she loved her family beyond all else. I hope they know how much she loved them and can at some point come to terms with their loss. My love and my heart goes out to each and every one of them, my family who loved her and will miss her terribly and to her many friends as well. I miss you BFF !!!!!
My only memories of her are fond ones. She seemed to truly love and care about Sean, the times I was around her, and Im sure she was that way to everyone in her life. My heart goes out to all of you in this time of grief.
The first time I met my Aunt Loretta, I simply stared. There sat this most beautiful woman with such long, gorgeous hair and the sweetest laugh. I was totally smitten at age 5. Her beauty never faded in my eyes, and lives so obviously in her children and grandchildren. She inspired me in so many ways: her passions, her bravery, her tenacity. She always called me "Precious," but it was what best described her.
Sean and Mindy, my heart is with you. May you soon replace tears with joyful smiles and laughter at the mention of her name, the memory surfacing to mind.
To all her treasured grandchildren, I am so glad you had a "Granny" like Loretta. May your times with her remain fresh in your heart and her loss be less painful each day.
"Granny" loved us all, and we will miss her so. She lives on in every thought we send her way. I hope to think of my Aunt Loretta often and with much love. So much love.
