Loretta was a very loving, soft spoken woman and I always enjoyed visiting with her at CHDC, and often drinking coffee together. I love her family and am praying for peace and comfort from God. Psalm 116:15

To Loretta children, & Ron and Sandy, So sorry to hear about your Mother and Sister,
Loretta was a great lady , I always looked up to her she was so pretty., I remember one time they came to our house and Pedro was always doing something, we were kids, so he climbs a tree and gets hung by the neck , hanging there and was screaming bloody murder, that scared Loretta , when he got down she started hitting him and him just laughing . We always had fun.., Always loved Loretta and Sandy when they came to visit,
Love you Loretta. Rest in the arms of Jesus., Your 2nd cousin. Nk
