    Jim, Gail, Leigh and family: Our roots go back many years. Loretta was a kind and loving person. One of my favorite childhood memories was watching the "Wizard of Oz" at your home. Your mother comforted me when I cried during the movie. She was so sweet. What a lovely lady. Jim, you have my deepest sympathies as Loretta must have been a magnificent wife.Many prayers are being sent your way.Luv,Susie

    I am very sorry to hear of Loretta's passing. Loretta was such a wonderful person. I remember growing up in Trumann and either through the church or at the clinic, she always had a cheerful smile and something nice to say; Loretta always made me laugh. When my mother passed away in 2002, it was Loretta that my family picked to lead her memorial service; she did a masterful job. I am very humbled and grateful for knowing such a kind and caring person. God Bless you all!

    Loretta was a very special personin our lives. Had it not been for her advice, my (Hazel) daddy would have died at 84 instead of 100 years of age. She was alsoa dear friend to us when mother was in a vegetative state for fiveyears in the nursing home. I would have lost my mind had she and Dr. Smith not been there for us. She was an angel in disguise.

    Dear Loretta...always so sweet and always a pleasure to spend time with. I always enjoyed our conversations talking about family history/geneology. Although not as often as I would have liked to.
