I was so sorry to hear about Loretta’s passing. She has been a dear friend to my mother for many years.
Hoping time will help heal the sense of loss that you must feel and that the memories you hold dear will keep your mom ever near.

My heart is with everyone today and always. Loretta was a beautiful soul and a wonderful grandmother. As much as it hurts, we all need to know that she is were she wanted to be for many years, with her parents, husband, son, grandsons, and sisters. It is hard on the living, but BEAUTIFUL for her! She will be missed, and thought of often. You are all in my prayers…my thoughts…and I miss you all….
Much love…Georgette
