Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Dyson was my high school guidance counselor. She was kind and supportive throughout my time at South Catholic. My senior year was very challenging for me due to a car accident. Mrs. Dyson took me under her wing and helped me to get through the college application process. She was truly an angel. She made a hugely positive impact in my young life. Thank you Mrs. Dyson. May your rest in peace.

Sending my deepest condolences to Loretta´s family. What a legacy she has left- with her teaching, volunteerism, and most especially -her family. I was one of the lucky ones to have Mrs Dyson as my guidance counselor. Little did I know what as a high school what a profound impact she would have on my life.

Dear cousins, my condolences on the passing of your mother/grandmother.

When Raymond was filling under the weather, I would travel to their home, to give him his haircut. Loretta was such a beautiful angel, with a soul of a saint. She brightened up a room when she appeared with her soft voice and contagious smile. She was knowledgeable about everything and enjoyed conversations with...

I am so sad hear of Mrs. Dysons passing. She was truly a beautiful soul and was a huge part of my years at South Catholic. She will be missed but most importantly, she will always be remembered with a loving heart. God bless and be at peace.

I met Loretta when I worked very briefly at South Catholic in 1987. It was a challenging situation, and I will always remember her comforting support. Getting to know her was yet another instance of the tie we Saint Joseph College alumnae feel with each other, no matter when we attended the school.

Rest in peace, gentle woman.
