Loretta was a member of the Pueblo Police Auxiliary with me for MANY years and oh what fun we had with that group – meetings at their home and events of fun. Sorry to learn of Loretta’s passing, she was such a good bookkeeper for us and participating member! My sympathy goes to the family and hope the good memories will be a treasure forever.
Loretta babysat my sister Charlene, my brother George and me way back when… to Mike, Frank and Bobby – please accept my sincere condolences.
Aunt Loretta was a cheerful, fun, and family-oriented person who loved to be in the middle of things. She will be sorely missed by this California niece!

Mike and Judy,
I was so sorry to read about your mother. May God be with you and your family at this time and may He bless you all so that you may heal with this loss through all your memories that you may share with each other about all your family. Your mom now is with your dad in heaven and has no more worries only love. She will always be with you only now in a different way. God bless you all and love.
