The family has my deepest sympathy. Loretta and I meet at a genealogical meeting and discovered we were cousins. We shared many wonderful trips doing our genealogy and canvassing cemeteries. She will be deeply missed.
Greatly miss my beautiful and wonderful aunt, thankful for all great talks. Love you Aunt Weedy, Leonard (Lennie)
Terry, I’m sorry for the loss of your mother. What a lovely & kind woman. She lived a beautiful life.
I knew Loretta in the early days of the Members First Community Credit Union–she was the manager and I was on the Board. She left a wonderful legacy–the Credit Union has certainly grown!
I wish you God’s comfort and peace as you deal with your loss.
