Ray we are saddened to hear that Loretta has passed from this world but we are glad that she is now in the hands of our Lord. She is in a far better place. Dianne and I are praying for the Lord to comfort you.
I have good memories of Loretta, having been a close friend of her sister and visiting in their home on many occasions in our high school years. As the big sister she was always a joy to be around.
I am so very sorry for your loss. My aunt Bonnie Brand always talks about what a sweet lady Ms. Loretta was. Prayer for peace and comfort. She was such a pretty lady!!
I have so many good memories with Loretta. She was a friend and I truly loved her. There is a special place in my heart for her
Dear Loretta will be missed. An inspiration, a true lady of distinction, now at rest in her Savior’s arms.
