Loretta you were a very special and dignified lady. I will always remember the story you told me about your delight in holding and showing love for sick hospitalized infants in need. When I think of you, I will remember you, Deedee(your sweet little yorkie) and I sitting together in your living room smiling at one another. May you be blessed.

You are truly missed Loretta. I fondly remember the special times we spent together and all the stories you shared about you and your life with my grandfather. I admired and loved you and Gramps very much. It is comforting to know that you are with him now. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers always.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Loretta and I grew apart after my Dad died. Later in life, when she began to suffer from Alzheimer's, we became close. She loved my father very much, and I came to love her very much. I will miss her!
