I remember an afternoon spent with Loretta and our dearest friend Mary.  We laughed until the tears were flowing. Loretta had a great sense of fun, and compassion, and courage.  Her courage, wisdom and creativity was an inspiration! She will be missed by many. The world has lost one of it's stars!  Blessings to all her family and friends.

My heart and prayers go with the family. I will always remember the laughter shared whenever Loretta was there. She called her own shots. Loretta my friend, you are truly one of a kind,,,,RIP

I first met Loretta in yoga class a number of years ago.  Her spirit and determination inspired the whole class.  Her laughter and smile regularly brightened our  weekly coffee get-togethers.  But what I remember most about Loretta is when she rode her tricycle onto the stage during a MoMo show and told her story.  She did so with courage & humour which is the way she lead her whole life.  I feel privileged to have known her.

I couldn't come to the celebration yesterday because I was skiing with CADS all day and I'm very sorry.

I only saw Loretta a few times over the last few years.  Her spirit and her smile always shone through!  Rest in peace dear Loretta!

thank you Loretta...
thank you for being a friend
thank you for your dazzling smiles 
and wonderfully contagious laugh
thank you that just the mention of your name immediately creates a smile...
thank you for your puppetry & alter ego "loreeta" and the fun we have had with her...
thank you for endless stories 
and the laughter throughout the pages
thank you

Loretta was a continual inspiration to me. Whenever our paths crossed she was full of life and her particularly bright sparkle was radiating out into her world.She was a 'joy- spreader' and I was blessed to have been in her sphere through her MoMo years.
Loretta- you are missed and loved forever..

For Loretta's dear family and friends: I know Loretta as a creative artist, her soul full of life and unique experiences, her body full of versatile movement and dance, her mind full of ideas and witty insights, her heart full of compassion and love. In Loretta I have an understanding and supportive soul sister. For ever. In deep gratitude of having danced some of my life together with her.

A sweet , loving funny soul who touched us during a few visits to her dear friend Mary here in Sooke ,BC. You will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Loretta's passing. She was a bright light who inspired many; me being one of them. Whenever I see the colour orange, I think of Loretta and her indomitable spirit and infectious humour. May your memories of Loretta sustain you now, and in all of the years to come. Farewell, Loretta, fly free.

Loretta was always bursting with creative expression - verbally, through her art, her dance, and her inimitable style... always sparkling. I loved her irreverence, her sense of mischief and playfulness.
 I will miss her thoughtful wisdom, yet she loved nothing more than to make people laugh. I'm chuckling over some priceless memories. Play on, Loretta!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet sister Loretta. Whenever I think of her, I always remember her big smile and wonderful dimples!! My thoughts are with you all.                   .

Goodbye Loretta. You will be sadly missed.

Dear Loretta, I am sure you are lighting up the sky.

I remember us all as children.  Loretta was always smiling, energetic, generous, and full of fun.  I could go on and on.  It saddens me to hear she is gone and I know you will miss her greatly.  I am unable to attend the celebration in her honor but she is and will be in my thoughts and prayers always.                                 Mirella Milos (Lavorato)

I feel so fortunate to have known Loretta, to have been able to spend a bit of time with her every week. I will always remember fondly the way that she could light up a room with her amazing smile and catch us all off-guard with her mischievous sense of humour. I will miss Loretta tremendously. My deepest sympathies to your family.

Loretta was a kind, genuine, free spirited person who loved people. Her  laugh lit up a room. She will be missed. God Bless.

I was honoured to know Loretta for the last year and to share in her exceptional art making process. Loretta's approach to life was, and will continue to be, a huge inspiration to me. Have fun dancing with the angels my friend.

As family you were blessed to have her in your lives.   As friends we were blessed to share her strength throughout our friendship.  I personally am blessed to have had such an awesome person pop in and out of my life and never miss a beat.  I have nothing but respect for her strength in choices in her lifetime.  You will be missed every single day. I love you Loretta ❤ RIP sweet woman

Dear Young family, although I didn't know Loretta I've often thought of our family as we grew up in Victoria Park together.  May she rest in peace.

Loretta was an inspiration to many, with determination that overcame many physical limitations. RIP Loretta

Loretta had a sweet spirit, a huge heart and a great sense of humor. I wish I could have known her even better.
