Shared a lot of good times with Lorie at family gatherings, out west and lots of times on the creek bank at Green Valley. I am certain she will be missed. She is in our prayers.

We all miss and love you Lori!

I am truly saddened to hear of Loretta's passing. I met Loretta in grade school and knew her through junior high. I had always had a crush on her, and I am pretty sure she knew it. We were like best friends, or at least that's the way "she made me feel". That was her gift. She made you feel special. She was dynamic, and carried herself with unmistakable strength and confidence, and you couldn't help but be drawn to her. I cherish those memories of Loretta.

My sincerest condolences to her entire family, friends, and loved ones.

I have known Lori since grade school. We were good friends and hung out often throughout grade school and jr.high. I will never forget her and her fun and carefree spirit. Iam sending many prayers to her children and family. Iam sooo sorry for all of you. Rest in peace Big Bird , my longtime friend.
