Tony and Loretta where my foster parents for 3 years. From 67-70. I learned allot from Loretta. She shaped my personality and parenting skills. I still hear Tony singing my name over panckes in the morning. Loretta taught me to dance and sing, songs I still sing to my children and grandchildren. May she and Tony rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. It was a pleasure seeing Loretta while I was at work. I've learned alot from her and will always cherish the memories. She will always be sadly missed, especially at bingo and crafts! Take care.

We were sorry to hear about the loss of Allen's Aunt Loretta, she was so interesting to talk to at family reunions, weddings and, sadly, funerals. Loretta knew the family tree. She was such a concerned, caring individual, adding to this earth and enriching those with whom she came in contact. We will miss her.
I was gone from home from August 26 until late yesterday, September 2nd, and just received the news this morning. We are sorry that it is too late to attend her services.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome...
