When I was a teenager I was fortunate to work with Lorette at Levine's. She ran a great office and taught us a lot about the right way to do business, doing all this with her wry sense of humor. She was one of a kind and will be missed.

Dear Joanne & Family,
Peter & I are so sorry to hear of Lorette's passing. She was a wonderful lady.
There are people you meet during your lifetime that leave an impression on you and Lorette was certainly that kind of person. We are very grateful we had the opportunity to know her and enjoy her company. She really touched our hearts.
God Bless your family.
