We were so saddened to read about Loretta. We remember her as a woman who enjoyed many things, especially having a good time. Her joyfulness was contagious. Peace to her family.

I will dearly miss Loretta,she was a very special person who touched many of us on the Bethany unit. We had alot of fun joking with her and listening to her sing Irish songs was simply amazing. She was always so happy when she won the horse racing no matter what prize she got it was like you gave her a million dollars. My condolances to her family I will keep her in my prayers.
