I was very saddened when told of Mrs. Lofton's passing. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to John, Cindy, Roger, and Mr. Lofton. Between Olive Branch, and Portside alone, she touched many lives. She won't be soon forgotten.

What a sweet, sweet woman. I remember over 35 years ago Jack and I were in his house counting money each day we hosted the all stars baseball games at Olive Branch. Lydia was always behind us making sure we did it proper. To Jack and the family, what great memories you have with such a lovely wife and mother.
