MaSry Lou PotenzianiLoretta was a very special lady. She was a wonderful friend to my mother, Evelyn Sacco. They played pinochle for many years with Mary Ann Funk and Paula Thomas. They also bowled and golfed together. I also bowled and golfed with her for many years. I remember how hard she tried to keep bowling and finally admitted she could not do it anymore. We really missed having her on our team. She was a true lady and a wonderful friend to many. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your wonderful mother and a beautiful lady. Mary Lou
