Dear Tisha & Joey, My condolences on the loss of your sweet mother Loretta. I know we lost contact for many years but the memories of our youth live on always in my mind! I remember when we lived in countryside across the street from eachother my mom would babysit for your parents and I was only allowed to stay the night at your home since my mother loved your mom and dad and trusted them! I am sorry I wasn't able to see Loretta once more before she passed on, having lost my father the same year Joe passed I know now that they are in a much better place looking over us. Lots of Love from the Mirzai-Barzi Family.......Loretta will forever be in our hearts & in our memories. Samira (Sammy)

I knew Loretta when she first moved to Daytona Beach. She worked for my parents in their store. I worked there too. She was a very friendly person. We had lots of nice conversations back then. Condolences to all the family.
