That two such special ladies should leave us at the same time, I can only think that they had earned their Angel wings and the Lord decided it was time for them to join Him. There is obviously a great connection here of which we, mere mortals, were not even aware.

I AM SADDEN BY YOUR LOSE. MAY GOD BLESS & COMFORT YOU.SENDING A BIG COMFORTING HUG FROM CANADA

Meganne, Thanx so much for this post! I haven't been able to connect for 5 days, and didn't know! Miss Loretta was a special person to all. She will be missed so very much, and I pray for the family she left. So sorry for your great loss. Judy...

My sympathy goes out to you. I did not know Loretta, but from what I read about her on this site she must have been a very wonderful, well loved person.
May you find comfort in all of the great memories that you have.
You are in my prayers...

I am so sorry I was not here sooner to express my sympathy to these two wonderful ladies! As long as I have been coming to the Cute site...I NEVER knew that Miss Loretta is Shirlene's mother! I was not here when Miss Loretta was. I knew Shirlene visited her, but had no clue they were even related.

I pray that these Wonderful people will find peace with their losses. I believe you are right and that Heaven has just found two more angels!

My prayers are with these families! I especially pray that Shirlene has the strength to get through this terribly tough time. She is dealing with Rick's recovery and the death of her mother at the same time! My heart is breaking for her!

It isn't hard to see from the pictures that Loretta was a stunning your woman who remained equally stunning throughout her life. All the comments bring back memories of like comments from friends when my mother passed. They see the pictures so differently than we (their daughters) do. It's nice to see them through different eyes. I hold all these dear comments close to my heart and found great comfort in them. I hope you find the same.

Thanks you Meganne for esxpress our feeling so well.

God's blessings and comfort during this time...They will be missed.

Meg, I just found this and my heart and soul is so thankful for all the love and support that you each have shown us - it is uplifting and so very special - thank you each so very much for all that you have done - this last little while.

Shirlene, thank you for posting the original photo of the design you digitised. Miss Loretta sure was a beautiful lady in more ways than one, just proves that there is no truth to the saying that "beauty is only skin deep". Hugs n much love, Meganne

Thanks Shirlene for sharing these 2 beautiful pictures of your beloved Mother. Aren't these photographs wonderful?

I love looking back over the older ones and reminiscing. Continuing to pray for Rick's healing.

Love and blessings Chris

We will miss them both. You have a wonderful way with words.

We sure are going to miss them both that's for sure.

Beautifully said Meganne. I have been so sad thinking about the passing of these two lovely ladies. I know that Shirlene loved her mother and Teri loved her grandmother very much. Imagining the pain that they must feel now is almost unbearable. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with them, and I hope that they can find strength from our love.

Dear Meg,

Beautiful sentiments from a beautiful soul!!

When we humans face such heartbreak it's comforting to know that there is a more glorious place for us to go to and a loving God waiting for us.

You are right Meg, this Cute family is here for all in time of sorrow/sadness and joy/happiness.

Well said and so true. Thank you. Hugs and prayers continuing.

Love and blessings Chris
