A WONDERFUL PERSON

James, Jeff and Cindi,

I am so sorry to hear about Loretta's passing. She was a wonderful boss. I always enjoyed my time working with Loretta and everyone at Rapid Air. Loretta, by hiring and promoting me, and always with her constant support, advanced my career and helped make me the person that I am today. Please accept my blessings and prayers for your family. Loretta will always be remembered.

Sincerely,
Carl Braun

Jim,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I know how important she was to you. I remember that she was such a lovely lady. Best to you and your family.

I first met Loretta in 1995 when she sponsored a B-17 Flying Fortress, "The Yankee Lady" in memory of Jack for the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII. What a fun, outgoing and generous woman she was. We've all thought and talked about her many times over the years and her next journey has just begun! Godspeed and good tailwinds. You'll always be a lovely lady.

My deepest sympathy to Loretta's family. I had the privilege of taking care of her and she was a joy. I loved the mischievous twinkle in her eye when I'd playfully joke around with her. We will miss her!

May you find comfort in your many happy memories! Loretta will be remembered for her leadership and passion for the aviation business. The Paul C. Miller Airport in Sparta is a continued success, inclusive of the contributions of Jack and Loretta. Warm regards!

Jim and Jeff. I will always be grateful to Loretta for being a wonderful wife, companion and partner to Dad. She had flair, humour and energy. It's always tough to lose a parent. My thoughts are with you.

My sympathy to all of you who loved Loretta. It was a joy to care for her at Georgetown Manor. I loved her smile. May god wrap his arms around you and give you peace and comfort.

My sympathy to the family. I'm praying for you. I enjoyed the visits I had with Loretta at Georgetown Manor. She was an amazing woman. May she rest in peace.
