Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Your mom and dad were always a joy to talk with at Thanksgivings in Winfield. Uncle Tony and Aunt Regina left a wonderful family, and your mom was an oustanding individual.
Loretta was a very gracious, family loving lady. I enjoyed doing her hair and her family was a favorite topic. I was amazed at how long she and her husband traveled so far to see the various sports the kids played. I know you will miss her. I pray for peace and grace in this difficult time.
To the Werners — Your Mom was a great neighbor and friend to my Mom, Betty Schawe. She was thankful to have a lady like Loretta, so much like her, closeby. Especially after Daddy died, I\’m sure Mom felt a sense of security, knowing that Joe and Loretta were just two doors down if she needed anything. I remember your Mom and Dad, quiet and faithful, always friendly when I happened to see them. I do remember feeling so bad for them when Mark died, but they showed their strength and faith during such a painful time. Loretta and Betty will always be with us, and you are all in my prayers.
Gregg, Marilyn, Linda & Bob, I was so sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. She and your Dad will always have a special place in my heart. They were so wonderful and helpful to me years ago when my husband was hospitalized in Wichita. They were truly special people. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
