I am truly blessed to have had my Grandmother around my whole life. I have the memories to keep her with me. I will miss her!!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Loretta a year ago while visiting the Buffalo area with her granddaughter June Foyt. She was a kind and pleasant woman and I enjoyed talking with her. It was not surprising that I met a lot of June's aunts and uncles at the same time. I could tell that this family is very close and that speaks to the nature and character of Loretta.

May the family (especially Jan Woodworth and her daughter June) find comfort in knowing she loved many people and was loved in return. God Bless and keep you.

She married my god-father and made him so happy. She was so good to my Mom, always brought a smile.
Rest in Peace Loretta, you surely earned it.

Aunt Loretta was an incredible person who always had a smile on her face and only spoke of kindness and love. I will never forget the summers I spent with her on the farm. She was an amazing woman and will be an incredible angel looking over all of us.

Heaven now has another angel. I am comforted to know A. Loretta will be watching over us as she did all those happy, childhood times when we visited the Hess farm. Rest in peace. Know that you will always be remembered.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Loretta's family. I have known her practically most of my life, since one of my older sisters married one of her sons. She was a wonderful woman that anyone would be proud to be able to say they knew. God Bless you Loretta.

Dear Loretta,
You will be greatly missed. You were the kind of mother I would have wanted. I love you and I will be praying for you and your family. And when I have a problem Kathy said I can now pray to you. Gram says hello, because in her mind and heart you are still in the nursing home with her. Love, Kathy Eckert
