I have wonderful memories of Loretta as a friend/roommate at Shippensburg State College. She was a lot of fun and helped me adjust when my freshman roommate became ill and dropped out of school. I cared for her dearly enough to ask her to be my first child's Godmother. We met up for dinner in the summer of 1999. God bless you, Loretta, and may you rest in peace.

It was sad for me when I learned Loretto lost her fight. I will always remember her as a little spitfire with a terrific sense of humor who could captivate me with her stories. Loretto and Gino were an amazing couple who made our summer visits comfortable and fun and Christmas dinners beautiful & elegant. Loretta had an inviting warmth about her that left you feeling special to her. She will be a great loss to those who knew her. I believe she is at peace and in a good place now...I will miss her, but will always remember her as someone I admired with great respect.

Loretta was very special and her loss will be felt.
Sweet Loretta always made me feel like family when I visited. Nothing was too much for her her love of life transcended to everyone she knew. I'm so sorry that I didn't make the drive down in the past two years but, then again, I remember Loretta as she was..beautiful in both looks and spirit.

I am sorry for the family's loss. Please take comfort in the promise of the resurrection mentioned in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8.
