I'll always cherish the memory of Mrs. Loretta, whose kind heart and unwavering resilience inspired everyone around her. She selflessly cared for others, and I adored our conversations - she always listened with compassion. Her presence will be deeply missed, and her legacy will be honored.

I loved spending time talking with Miss Loretta getting to know her. We often talk about the Bible and sing the old hymns. We enjoyed playing bingo together. Thank you for allowing me to serve Miss Loretta.
