To my Grandmother,
You were my everything! I miss you more and more each day. When you passed I was young and didn´t understand that I would never physically see you again. I hold you in my spirits and I live my life wishing you are proud of me. I love you until the end of time.
Sincerely, Your Granddaughter

I have lost a friend. I agree with others the smiles she gave or the frown when she did not approve and her laughter was great. ILoved Loretta she was a great lady. If I can assist any of you please call on me. I will be praying for each of you.

Aaron, Sebrina, Marlene, family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. Loretta was very fortunate in having such a caring and loving family. Now that she has found her peace with the Lord and is no longer suffering, I'm sure she will up in heaven watching over all of you. I would like to speak for many of the staff on 7E at STH, when I say they felt their own grief when Loretta passed from this world into the arms of the Lord. I know I don't need to say that she will be missed by all of you, but I'm sure a light has gone out of your lives. She had such a beautiful smile. May God be with all of you in these trying days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers. If I can help you with anything please call the office and ask for me and I will return you call as soon as I am able. God be with you. Sincerely, Hospic e of Summa RN

To Mrs. Willa Mae Gates, family and friends of my dearest friend Loretta:
May God bless and comfort you during this time. Loretta and I had been friends for a long time. Her smile was so contagious that she hardly ever met a stranger. We shared many years of fun, laughter, and tears. I will always hold a special place in my heart for my friend, Loretta.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
