Tim, Lynn and I were so sorry to hear your mom passed. She was a wonderful woman. I loved the way those available would get together every Sunday to eat. I always thought when my kids get married I want to do that—well I’m on grandkids and they still don’t have time. Give Lynn a call when you get a chance. He would love to hear from you. 651-775-0657.
Aunt Loretta’s home was always so full of love and kindness. Those beautiful times will be forever missed. I believe her kind heart lives on in her grandchildren. She leaves behind a beautiful crew. May she have eternal rest in the arms of her Savior!
Mrs. Loretta was an amazing great grandmother. I appreciated her accepting my brother and I into her fold when we became a part of the ledger family. Her legacy is one of Kindness and Acceptance.
