My heart goes out to the Pepper and Loreth families. You were there for her so many times as she faced cancer. I was fortunate to meet Loretta in the 7th grade. She has been a faithful friend for the past 43 years. Loretta had a great sense of humor and she fought until the end. She was a courageous woman and a great friend to me.

I knew Loretta through my husband Jimmy Marquez and she was alway fun to talk to and I have fond memories of all the company picnics and also Don. I also saw her one time at the Relay for Life in Salem.
