Loretta was my cousin, and I always loved her visits with
grandpa & Miecie at the ranch. She was so pretty, and friendly.
My warmest regards to all her family at this sad time.

When I was young I got to spend a lot of time at Aunt Loretta's I think she liked having a girl around. She was a loving and caring lady who was proud of both of her boys and loved all of her family all of her brothers and sisters. She was always so glad to see us. I will miss her.

Aunt Loretta was a very special lady and was always kind to everyone. I'll always remember her taking us to Sunday school. My prayers and thoughts go out to my cousins and their families.
