I met Loretta in April 1956, we were married in September 1956. A whirlwind romance, no. We just fell in love and 6 months later married. Loretta worked at various jobs over the years, however suddenly thrown into the job of caregiver when our son had a devastating motorcycle accident, Loretta never once complained, instead she gave more than 100 percent in seeing that our son was given the best care she could provide. Seventy years is a long time, and I miss you, however many years ago you became a born again believer in Jesus Christ and one day, though you are gone for now, we will once again be together around the throne of God, and have now all eternity to sing His praises once again in the presence of our Saviour and Lord.

My best memories of her was her sewing. I loved all the doll clothes she would make. I loved looking through all she had completed and what she was working on. She had an amazing talent for delicate sewing!
