I was terribly saddened to hear the news of Loretta's passing. Having worked with her for 21 years, I certainly had a lot of time talking to her and getting to know her. Her dedication to our company and her will to commute from SI for over 40 years is nothing short of admirable. I will miss having her ask how my kids are and asking for pictures of the various events they have had over the years. Likewise, I will miss her talking about her Grandkids as I know they were a bright light in her life. My heart out goes out to you and your family in these difficult times--May she rest in peace...With Love, Bob Renner
