Loreta P. Lape

Woody,
I love you so very much. I will miss you dearly. I will never forget the big nickels (quarters) that you gave me as a kid. I will never forget all the times we sat and talked for hours about anything and everything. I know that if given a chance, I would have never been able to take care of my mom, because you would have been there doing it. You were the one that took care of everyone else. Putting your own life on hold, you took such good care of grandma. Thank you.

Susan &...

I am so sorry for your loss Candice. Last year about this time I signed this same book for my dad, I know it is hard trust me I know and it doesn't feel like you will ever feel better. You will never stop thinking of her or missing her but,the pain gets a little better it will just take time. Love Ya, Kami

I just want to thank everone for telling funny stories and memorys you have of my Grandmother. She was a very caring person and ALWAYS put other people before her! Keep the stories coming! Thanks

Her Granddaughter

Although I never got a chance to get to know you as an adult, I remember an incident you reminded me of a few years back when we were chatting on line from when I was a little girl of 5 or 6, regarding a new dress that Mama had made for me, with your Mother's help. I remember so many wonderful hours spent with your mother when I was a child, and also know how much my Dad, Monte thought of you. You will be sorely missed by all who loved you. Rest in God's arms. Your distant cousin, Juanita...

I am still having a hard time believing that you are gone Aunt Loreta. It's been difficult not being able to spend time with you the last few years. I've missed those crazy conversations about anything and everything.

There are a lot of pack rats in our family. But you, dear Aunt Loreta, were definitely our leader and queen!! LOL Your bottle collection was amazing. How you mananged to find and amass such a collection was almost unbelievable.
I'll miss visiting you and enjoying your...

Aunt Loreta we will miss you dearly and I know right now you are with Gamma Russell, Aunt Tud, Amber Dawn,Jeremy and so many other of our loved ones who have went to Heaven, so I know that everybody was waiting with open arms and many stories to tell you so all I ask is that you keep eye out for the ones left behind, and when our time comes be there to greet us with open arms. There are so many memories to tell but your loving smile and unconditional love was unending. The way you took care...

Loreta you were the last of my immediate family and now you are gone. I know we were not very close for the past few years and I regret it very much. I remember the good times and the funny ones. For instance, when you were in high school and Stella and I were in grade school. At our school, the high school kids were on the second floor and the grade school was on the first floor with the girls dressing room in the basement. At that time head lice was going around and Stella and I were very...

Aunt Loretta,
I have always know that you were a good person and I am sorry that I never got to see you that much. I never got to say "Thank You" for taking care of my dad. Please say "Hi" and tell him that I have missed him so very much!! Now you can rest in peace and let others take care of you.

My fondest memory? Is when you called me son.
Mum, this world has lost a very caring woman, you were always first and last in line to help all the family members who were ailing, I hope that you are now in a place where you are happy with lost loved ones, you have earned it.
Susan and Candice, thank you. ILY
