There is no day that passes that I don't think of you and how much I miss my friend, mentor and mom. I say good night to you every night and for me it is soothing. I love you mom, my world is not the same without you.

When one can live a life and be remembered so fondly, I say a life well lived. I had not spent much time with Loretta, but I heard her comments in the background of conversations with Denise and can say what a great sense of humor and what an amazing Mother. One who loves her Children, supports and lifts them as she did is truly a gift. As long as her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren live so shall she. God bless and comfort those she left behind, as I believe she is now really...

Loretta,
I am so grateful that our paths crossed, and my life was enriched for having known you. I will miss your sense of humor and your adventurous spirit. You were truly loved by so many, and you will be missed immensely.
Love, Susan

Mom, I miss you, I miss us. You have given me so many great memories and I thank you. I thank you for the moments we shared even at the end of your life, something I will always cherish. You were a mom to me, my senior pal and my wisdom buddy. Who do I call for all those answers to the questions I always had? By the way, the answer to our inside joke is yes. I love you mom.
