Lauretta was the sweetest. There aren’t words to express how greatly she will be missed. I met her years ago and I instantly admired and loved being a friend She Cared. She told me how blessed we were to have had a son first. She loved both of my children and was so good to them.
My heart goes out to her children and family.
Sleep peacefully my friend.
