Loret is a beautiful soul. One of those rare people with a gentle spirit, yet a strong passion for what is right. She was a joy to know and will be missed. She lives on in that beautiful family of hers - her husband Peter and sons Eli, Spencer and Miller. We miss the whole family here in Davis, Ca. We welcome them here anytime and will always remember Loret.

What a kind, strong, and wonderful person! She is one of the most thoughtful people with whom I have had the pleasure to work. Throughout everything she went through, she was concerned about others and the world around her. We will all miss her.
