To the Hackett children: So sorry for your loss. I didn't learn of your mother's passing until I was at Mass today. May she rest in peace with your father. My condolences, your second cousin (son of Jack and Lucille)

Dear Hacketts and Fran Carey and Families,
All of you are in our prayers and thoughts. We have so many fond memories of Loretta. Josephine (Aunt Jo) Carey and our mom Ag Heffernan were best friends while we were growing up.

To the entire Hackett family; My Bellwood second family. Without Mrs. Hackett, my widowed mom could not have worked her job to support my (late) brother Greg and I. I lived at the Hackett house. Peggy and I were inseparable. From morning to night, to sleepovers to swimming at the pool all summer long. I have wonderful childhood memories because of this family. We moved from Bellwood in 1968-69?? And as life does we all moved on. I was hoping to get to the wake today however I cannot make it. Please know that I send my deepest condolences to all of you. May your mom rest in peace. God Bless, Donna Reitz

Dear Tom, Pat, Di, Nan & Peg,
I have great memories of our visits and stay-overs with my Hackett cousins. Uncle Tom and Aunt Loretta were outstanding parental examples. I would be hard pressed to think of a more loving family.
You have been blessed in many ways. My prayers for the repose of Aunt Loretta's soul.
God bless,
Jim Gerrity

I worked with Loretta at Jewel Main Offices in Melrose Park. She was a very beautiful lady, not only physical but also in her heart.
GOD Bless her and I hope she didn't suffer.
