We will miss Aunt Loretta dearly, she was the last of the Yount siblings of that generation. She is blessed now to be in the presence of our Lord. She is happy to be reunited with Uncle Toby and lots of other family members. She is not sad and lonely anymore. We will rejoice for her while we grieve for our loss.

I am thankful she is with Uncle Toby and all her brothers and sisters now. She had a rough time this past year with the lock down and no visitors. I know she is where she has wanted to be for a good while. We love you Aunt Loretta!
