Mum as another year end approaches it becomes even more difficult without you, your guidance and love as everything changes, the sense of loss is unbearable to accept. Only once you left did I really understand the feeling of Forever and the thought of never seeing you again. This year has been extremely difficult, but also full of great pride and successes. My already broken heart is now shattered into millions of pieces, betrayal this late into my life seems inconceivable. I love and miss you every moment your daughter Louise xxx

So sorry to hear of Loretta's passing. I will never forget the kindness she showed me, nor the words of wisdom she shared over the years. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her, especially her family. Thinking of you all at this sad time x

Although we never met you in person Loretta, you became a close friend through social media.
Someone who was always there for advice and always caring for our health especially Denise became unwell last year....you messaged me regularly to see how Denise was doing during her chemotherapy...not because you had to...but because you wanted to...you were a special person and we will miss your regular messages and the laughs we used to have...
May you rest in peace Loretta.....we will never forget you and will be thinking of you, especially when we are in Santa Ponsa....that's for sure....... Denise & John
