    Lo, thank you for being an exemplary wife to my cousin Art. I truly believe he became the man that he is the day that he met you.

    To Loretta’s Family,
    Although we were acquainted for many, many Sundays. It was the past two years of which I had the pleasure to know your daughter, wife, mother. There was non like her. She always struck a cord in my heart just to watch her walk by or to see her talking with her children. I remember her dropping Mychael off in Children’s Church and Mychael would cry, Lil Art always got a stern look because he was being a little boy as little boys do. I wasn’t sure why I always recognized her as being so pleasant, quiet, pretty, and classy. I remember those thoughts vividly, and I remember recognizing a certain sadness through her smile sometimes. I would see her and her beautiful family for a while, then she would disappear. She would reappear with the same beautiful smile. Don’t just go to church, with a concerned heart ask about the people you don’t see for a while. It was not until Loretta joined the Guest Team that I learned what long, courageous battle she was fighting. This is not enough space to write how she touched my life, how she touched many. Because we were blessed to know her, we are all better people. Love each other lots and know that she is watching like an “Owl.”

    Loretta was a beautiful lady. I didn’t know her personally but I do know her mother Pat( who is a beautiful very sweet lady herself) and some members of her family. I just want to say I am very sorry for the loss of her presence in your family.



  25. Dannielle (DB) on March 23, 2017 at 7:06 am

    Lo Green, I miss you so much, it’s like a piece of my heart has been torn apart, my comfort is that you are resting and with the Almighty God. Love you



  26. Tamicka Nelson-Bobo on March 23, 2017 at 6:21 pm

    Dear Family,
    When I first meet Loretta, it was like we were catching up on past times. But, that wasn’t the case, we just had an eye and feeling that we were both good people. She was a wonderful person to be around and I will definitely miss her at our ladies day and night outs. She was always so thoughtful and always asking how my family was doing. She had a certain queation she would ask me every time she saw me and I already knew what she was gonna say. The funny thing is, she knew my response. I finally was able to tell her yes to her question and she smiled. I must get back to doing what I said yes about before she get me. LOL rest well Loretta my ?? #GNOFOREVER & #FLL



  27. Denise F. on March 23, 2017 at 7:06 pm

    Loretta passed on 6 months ago today. Losing my first born has left a great void but God has been faithful. I know she’s with The Lord and that brings me great comfort. Loretta brought me great joy and it was an honor to be her mother. I love you always…until I see you again, rest well.
