I worked with Loretta for many years at Canadian Pacific Railway.  She truly was a great co worker and one of the nicest people to work with. She will be missed by many.  Rest is peace.

We have fond memories of Loretta, and enjoyed having her visit us  many times at our cottage at West Hawk Lake.  May happy times remembered give comfort to the family she leaves behind.  Sincerely, CR and Ron

Loretta's absence  at our family gatherings will be felt.  We have many happy memories of trips to Las Vegas and Florida.   We laughed about one crazy  trip to Vegas for years.  She was always oh so easy to get along with and appreciative  of everything done for her.   Rest in peace Loretta.

My condolences to Loretta’s family. I worked with Loretta at CPR for many years. After I retired I would bump into her at KP mall. We would talk & sometimes have a coffee together. Loretta would always ask about my kids & how they were doing. I will miss her & our talks. Rest in peace Loretta.  Claudette Balcaen

Hey kids, after we all grew up and moved away I still saw Mom at Salsbury house often. As a kid, it was so special to be next door neighbours with your family, I send condolences from Wendy, Kevin and myself. We just lost Dad in May.  Love Pam Golembiski
