Jim & Felicia:
Your wife/mother was very passionately in love with you both. If I didn’t hear your names at least a couple times by noon, I began to worry.
She and I had a push/pull relationship similar to that of siblings. We also shared a lot of the same personality traits. We both spoke too loudly and got hushed more than any others – but we had fun doing it! We often would jive off of each other and had a lot of fun discussing our solutions to all the world’s problems.
Loretta will be missed and I’m so sad that I didn’t get, or make, an opportunity to say goodbye. Please keep in touch if there is anything I can do for you!
Loretta – Thank you for being a friend!!!
Sincerely,
Chase
Jim

Dear Jim and Felisha, I was shocked to see the news of Loretta’s passing. She was a wonderful friend and mentor of mine when I was a Medical Technology student. I still remember what she said to me after I told her i was thinking about becoming a Medical technologist..”Don’t Do It.” We also had such great times as friends. Stay strong

My heart goes out to you and your family Jim. God bless you and give you strength during this difficult time. Lee
I had the pleasure of working with Loretta at Evant. She was dedicated to working and helping people excel — and what she could do with an excell spreadsheat was sooo incredible helpful! She always was quick with a smile and had a hearty laugh! Even when she had her ‘hard hat’ sign on her door suggesting she was busy — she always made a few minutes to be available to brainstorm or help fix a problem! She talked of the both of you, Felisha and Jim, with such pride and love! I will miss hearing about whatever her next adventures were going to be. May the wonderful memories of your Mom and Wife help carry you forward.
Dear Jim and Felisha, My deepest sympathy to you both. Loretta was such a wonderful, vivacious person and it was my privilege to know her. Her love and devotion to you always came through during our conversations. Felisha, your mom will always be with you in your mind and heart and please know she always wanted the best for you. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family and I am so sorry for your loss.
Jim & Felisha,
So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire framily durring these difficult days.
Warmest regards,
Al Wohl

My thoughts and prayers are with you on the loss of Loretta(your wife and mother). She always talked so proudly of the both of you and was constantly worried that she was doing the right things for you. You know she was because she was an excellent and caring person that God sent to all of us for the for the pupose of knowing how to live a life on earth by his will, so that all of us can be with him in all his Glory.
I will miss her as a true friend. Who I considered a mentor in my professinal career when I was having problems. Bob Breznai
