When I did not receive my annual Christmas card from Loretta I feared the worse that she had passed away. Unfortunately I moved away from Decatur in 1968 but Loretta and I never lost touch. She was my best friend and confident. We had many good times together. A sweeter person you'll never know. I am saddened dear friend to hear of your passing but heaven truly has an angel. God Bless you and your family. Marilyn Swain Greenfield
I was saddened to hear of Loretta's death. She brightened the church with her sweet smile and giving heart. We thank her for all the times she helped us in the church after joining. I always enjoyed our conversations and made a point to see her when she came in. She will be missed.
Jo Ellen, So sorry to hear about your Mom. I wish I could come tomorrow, but will not be able to. I will be with you and your family in spirit. Love always, Craig and Mary Jo
