Robert, Tiffenee, and Kevin, I send my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Loretta was such a beautiful person and a wonderful aunt to me and my children. They are deeply sorry for your loss. The first thing they said was, "Mom, aunt Loretta was so good to us when we were children, we love her". I was planning to attend her home going, but iam not able to due to medical issues that I have right now. But I want you all to know that we loved her dearly and we love you all.
