    Dearest Loretta and family; My sincerest sympathy goes out to you and your family at this sad time. I remember fondly going with Helen, yourself and mom to a few bingo’s and could never believe how she could keep up dabbing so many cards and even help me when I got behind. She seemed like a lady of few words, but she always had a smile and hello whenever I ran into her and would always ask me how I was. My thoughts are with you at this time as I know Loretta, she was not just your sister but your best friend.
