Loretta has to be one of the sweetest women I have ever met. Strength to deal with ever life gave her, a Christian woman that always lent a helping hand. I have known her about 20 years but wish it was so many more. I felt like part of the family. She called me every single day since Elizabeth died. I will miss those calls @ her good cooking. She is at peace with her family now. I know she is happy & with God.

Gene and the family, we sure are going to miss your sweet mother coming in to Bob's BBQ. I and others would hug her neck, We love her so much. She was always so sweet, kind, and loving. I can see her coming through the door with that big smile on her face. In our hearts we know God has called home another angel. In heaven greeting each other with her beautiful smile and hugging all spreading her love around. Goodbye, my dear friend.
