June, Tom, Joe, Janet and Cousins, As I was on my way home from the wake this evening with BJ and Stephanie we started to talk about Auntie Loretta. I told them about their Great Aunt and her wonderful family. BJ asked me what it was I remembered most. I thought about that for a moment and then I remembered the sound of her laughter. My eyes filled with tears because I could always hear my Auntie Loretta's heart in her laugh, it was alway genuine and strong. Stephanie said "that was not a surprize because you could see she had a "Happy" laugh just looking at the pictures!" Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time, may your memories of joy and laughter sustain you. Love, Donna, Bert, BJ and Stephanie
