Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, Mom. Life has not been the same - all the things we used to enjoy together no longer stirs the same passion in my heart. And when April 1st rolls around I still think it’s a big joke and that I’ll encounter you or receive your call. But don’t worry, mama, life here goes on and I don’t take for granted the lessons you taught or the memories created. Till we meet again, love and miss you so much. 🙏🏻🌹

Your eldest,

Jair ♥️

Loretta was a mom to me and so many others. She will surely be missed by everyone. I have so many fond memories of her and she always had a laugh that made everyone around her feel better. She welcomed me into her home like I was her own daughter. Stan remembers the fun times playing MJ and cards with mom. She treated everyone with open arms and was always full of life. With love Winnie and Stan Moy.

My Aunt Loretta, my mom's best friend, was someone who always made you laugh at least once in a conversation. She worried about my mom's bout with dementia during this past year, prompting her to call my mom at least once a week to check up on her. I had the privilege to answer the phone as I was over mom's house quite a bit. Aunt Loretta would always put a smile on my face because I knew my mom had such a caring and loving friend for most of her life. That caring and loving lasted until their very last days together…may they both rest in peace in heaven together. She will be truly missed by the entire Sitt family.

I told my sons how special Aunt Loretta is to their existence since she helped me file all the correct paperwork to help me get my husband Ruddy through with his green card years ago. She was amazing with her knowledge of immigration law and kept encouraging me through the long process. I have never forgotten that.

Sheryl, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. It's always hard when we loose a parent, but I hope you take solace in that she is no longer suffering from the ravages of Covid-19. From some of the posts here its clear your Mom was a caring, vivacious woman and she will live on in the memories of her loved ones. You are in my thoughts.

Mrs. Chow was the mother of one of my dearest friends, Caryn. I stayed at her home in Chinatown, NYC on multiple occasions. She was always a very gracious host. Her love for her family was always something I admired. I also was a guest at their family home at the shore in New Jersey. I was always made to feel a part of the family. My memories of Mrs. Chow are very sweet and will stay with me forever.

My Mom’s ringtone was “Girl on Fire” by Alisha Keys. Mom was definitely the hippest, coolest 83-year old on the planet.

I've known Loretta for a short period of time and in that short time, her beautiful spirit touched my soul. She was witty, tough (I loved the most), sweet, humble, good cook and many more. Loretta was so kind to make me her special money ball around my bday that I will cherish for life! Lorretta, you will be missed, but I know you are smiling down on earth with our father Lord in heaven. Your body may not be on earth, but your soul lives everyday till eternity. RIP. Love Rae, Mikey, Rocky and little Lola...🙏😇❤

I haven't seen Loretta for many years. But she remembered me as if decades haven't passed. When I think of Loretta, it is her laughter, thoughtfulness, sweetness, yummy cooking and just a great wonderful lady!!
