If one asked you to describe Lorette in single word or sentence what would say. For me she is like a gentle passing cloud. She was not a storm cloud rushing toward you but instead she drifts slowly over you, so low that you feel you could reach up and touch her. No harsh word or act did I ever hear from her or see her do. She was one of those billowy soft clouds on a clear blue day that drift on endlessly. So next time you step out; look up. She may be passing over head. Look for her in the summer sky and thank her for the times you had with her. There are few clouds as lovely as she and a life more deserving. I be looking for in the summer sky. Bless you.
