I have known Loretta for 10 years, I work at the Vet Clinic where she brought her dogs. I always smiled when she came in the door and would come out to "bask" in her joy and get a hug. It always made my day to see her and left me feeling as if all was right in the world. An infectious smile, sparkling eyes,and full of orneriness. I was devastated when I found out her prognosis, and am equally so at her passing. She blessed my life, and I am a better person for knowing her. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are not alone in your sadness. With heartfelt sympathy and God Bless!
