Sad to see this about Loretta. I always counted on seeing her at our reunions. She will be missed.

Loretta was one of our Cooper crowd. We started and ended our education together. She lived across the street when we were in grade school.
Loved seeing her at the reunions. Always great memories. Loved her laugh.
