Mrs Loretta Mercer was a very nice lady who truly did care for people and was always kind and supportive. She loved animals and cherished her dogs very much. I remember the day her beloved dog died. She was so very sad. A while after she adopted another dog and enjoyed talking about her. The world was a better place with Loretta in it.
