I am so sorry to hear about your mother, I have thought of her so often. My Mom (Theresa Benton) and her were so close. They did so many things together and always seemed to have a good time. They ate pizza and listened or watched the Nebraska games. I am sure they welcomed one another in Heaven. Prayers are with you all.

Loretta was such a special lady. I met her when I sold Avon products. Her birthday was a day after my son's so I always remembered it. She saw me on the street one day and told me how she enjoyed the pie I had made for the church fall dinner. She had asked the ladies who made it. Rest in peace, great lady.
