Aunt Loretta was a very special woman who reinvented herself several times over her lifetime. I remember her doing things her way always. She loved and cared for her family, her surroundings and her history. I knew I could count on her to send me the family history which both of us thought was important - my mom, her sister, didn't really agree. My mom did do what Loretta said and valued the time they spent together in their later years. Aunt Loretta felt loved and cared for until her last moments. You all are to be commended and serve as an example to others. I wanted to send flowers but I will donate to the library to honor her-a very special woman of many talents!
