I am so sorry to hear of Loretta's passing. I used to visit my mother, Ruth Carey, every sunday morning at Hillcrest, and I never failed to stop by and see Lorretta and give her a huge hug. She was a very friendly and caring woman, and I sincerely offer my prayers for her and to her family, whom I know will miss her as much as I do. Farewell Loretta; you will certainly be missed by all whose lives you touched.
