I didn’t know her long but we had several things in common-the love of reading (Ann Rule) country music and crocheting. She was the only person who ever told me I made the best scrambled eggs. It was my privilege to care for her. My condolences to the family. You will in my thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest sympathy to all the Petersons. I have fond memories of my Aunt Loretta and all the wonderful baking she did every Christmas. You will be dearly missed. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
