Not sure what to say?

I knew and loved Loretta for over a quarter century, worked with her in various capacities, but the memory I most want to share today is about her boundless generosity. In 2001, after I invited Loretta and Jim to my wedding, Loretta offered me the most incredible wedding present: use of her condo in St. Kitts for a honeymoon! We were blown away.

Offering our sincere condolences. May the God of love comfort your heart and make you firm in your time of grief. 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17.

This is a loss to all of us in Massachusetts. She was a truly remarkable person who had a life well-lived. Loretta was a great friend and supporter of the Massachusetts Association for Mental Health and to all of those individuals and families that suffered with mental health and behavioral issues. Rest in peace.

A very special person. Was a great help to me early in my career. She was very inclusive and

Lab when you all lived in Braintree. That was the first of three that we owned.

Please accept our sincere condolences.

What a wonderful woman in a life well-lived. May she rest in the peace of the righteous by which I mean those whose lives were directed by a love of compassion and justice.

We admired Loretta enormously. She had great spirit!
