Mom, you were the most selfless person that I have ever known. Your family and your friends always came before your own needs and wishes. You were compassionate, caring, beyond loyal, extremely generous, forgiving and maybe a little bit too noisy sometimes but that’s only because you always wanted the best for all of us. Your grandchildren and great grand children are so very fortunate to have had such an incredible Nonna; one who was always interested and wanting to be involved in their lives. What great memories you have given them all and they can cherish them always. You have created a strong and dynamic family and we will do our best to continue to make you and dad proud and to keep your legacy growing and full of love for one another. I know you’ll be the best angel on all of our shoulders. Always loved, always missed and always remembered.

We always enjoyed time with Loretta. Our family spent many holidays with both Jack and Loretta. Later when she would come to California during those cold winter months she loved to spend lots of time soaking up the sun. We had dinners together and many card games. She will be missed. Love to you all!

Loretta was such a nice person. I remember living with Steve and Cheryl years ago and Loretta would come and visit. I always enjoyed the long conversations and hearing about the shopping excursions. RIP Loretta, you will be missed by many.

So sorry for your loss. Joanne I wish I had known your Mom as from what you have told me she sounded like a fun, independent-minded, loving woman.

Condolences to the entire family. I hope you feel surrounded by much love.
