I was so sad to hear about the passing of Loretta. She was such a remarkable person. It was a joy to work with her at the college. Her great sense of humor, people sense and work ethic endeared her to everyone, especially the students. Loretta was one of a kind and my heart warms when I think of her.

I worked with Loretta for many years at Colby-Sawyer she was an amazing lady and friend, her sense of humor always had us laughing.. I am so sorry for your family's loss, and my prayers are with you all.
