To The Walton Family,
Words cannot express the sadness my family and I feel for the loss of your Mother.
We have lost a beautiful and loving friend who lived her life with such faith, grace, kindness, compassion, and of course an amazing sense of humor. I picture your Father standing with open arms, along with Michael (with a deck of cards in his pocket), waiting to welcome her. Loretta derived such pleasure when she would "skunk" Michael or Lee at cards. She loved to tease and was always thinking of the next prank to pull on them. She will live in our hearts and memories forever!
We offer our deepest condolences to your family.
Francine and the entire Belanger Family.

Lee & Floyd, I was so sorry to see your mother's obituary. But she is now with your dad and Mike so you have another angel watching over you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

So sorry to hear of Aunt Loretta passing. I remember many times of visiting with her and Uncle Chub while growing up. Loved her maple cookies. Hold your memories to your heart and she will always be with you.
