I remember my Great Aunt mostly through my mother. She always had kind things to say and I recall my mother's experiences and the fondness she had for Loretta. May Aunt Loretta rest in peace.

Mrs. Brooks was a great aunt of mine, the aunt of my mother, the former Marie L. Kiefer. She was always very kind to me and to my mother. May she rest in peace and always know the Lord's love and comfort!
