Dear Uncle Kevin, Matt, Clare and Cat,
I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Aunty Loretta.
I feel grateful that I got to see her and speak with her only a few months ago where she still had that twinkle in her eye. I also hold fond memories of visiting the Waterloo Road house as child where she always had something yummy for us to eat.
Holding you in my thoughts and prayers, love,
