We are very sad to hear of Loretta’s passing. We have good memories of Steve and Loretta sitting on our deck having drinks and snacks, along with our big grey cat Teddy. Although we moved in 2014, we never forgot those good times. - Posted by: Ed and Linda Prociuk (Former next door neighbors on Millstream) on: May 04, 2024
