    Teresa, Ryan and Family,

    I was so surprised to hear of Loretta’s illness,and now passing.
    I have gotten to know her at Elmwood. My Mother sat with Loretta in the
    dinning room, and, sometimes at exercise class. Loretta was one of the first
    residence to welcome us. She was a lovely Woman. I am glad she didn’t
    suffer long. May you have peace knowing she is with our Heavenly Father.
    Sending you my deepest Sympathy,
    Linda Merrill

    I am so sorry to hear about Loretta’s passing. I wish I had known, for I would have given her one last “goodbye”, “see you later”. I want you to know that your mother was a very special person to many, including me. I will surely miss our nightly chats. Some people touch your heart, and your mom touched mine from the beginning.
    You, her children, were blessed with a very loving and caring mother, and I know you will always carry those memories with you. God bless you all. I will miss Loretta and her loving family.
