As some of you long timers know, Lorettag28 is very ill and unable to participate at Cute Embroidery. She is under the care of hospice due to a terminal illness. Her wish is for her membership to go to someone who is unable at this time, to purchase the membership and who would treasure it. She has requested that it be given in love, to Mary Moore. Our sweet and generous Veronika has proposed to carry this on as a tradition to honor Miss Loretta. Here is how it will work: Mary Moore is the initial recipient of a 6 months membership. She (Mary) will during the 6 months nominate another Cutie who is the most in need of a scholarship. At the end of her (Mary’s) 6 months it will be given to Mary’s nominee, who will at the end of those 6 months nominate another member who is in need of the scholarship, and so on. Please let Veronika know how grateful we are to her for making this touching gesture. Also, please remember the spirit in which it was started and show honor to Miss Loretta through your words, requests and actions.

I was reading all of the responses to this posting and am wondering ... Was this posted September 5,2008? I don't see any recent postings, if I am understanding the way these are written. What ever became of Loretta and her daughter?

I think this is fantastic. The best thing I've heard in a long long time. Veronicka you are all heart to continue this. Such a wonderful thought. You have truly HONORED Miss Loretta. I am extremely interested in Ancient Egypt. In their religion they believe that as long as the name is spoken the person will live forever. So we will be speaking both of your names for a long time. Thank you, Alice

I like to think that God often sends us His love on the wings of Butterflies. I'd love to send some to Miss Loretta. Does anyone know an address?
Mary, I know that you will always be grateful for this well deserved gift. What loving people Miss Loretta and Veronika are. It's an honor to be a part of the "Cute" family. ***~ ksgram

Being very new to this site, I am very sorry that I did not have the priviledge of meeting "Miss Loretta"! She sounds like she is a very wonderful person and I am very sorry that her health is is so bad. Since I have started sitting in on this group of wonderful people, I have become addicted to this site. Everyone is so nice and helpful to the whole bunch of embroidery fanatics. Most of us would rather do this than eat when hungry or sleep when it is time to go to bed. I am disable and do not get out very often because it is just too much trouble! I have severe arthritis but I do go buy my own groceries and my son(42) will come help me unload them most of the time. I have 2 Pekinese girls,13 and 3 1/2 and they fill my life with alot of joy. I have had the oldest since birth but adopted the youngest baby in Oct of 2007. She is a spit-fire and a handful! She is very well behaved but has alot of puppy energy. Although I get around fairly slow we never have a dull moment around here! At 57 I had horrible surgery on my legs and ended up in the nursing home for 8 months until they healed. I almost lost my legs and/or my life so I feel very thankful to just be here! I thank the Lord for every day that I wake up no matter what the day has to offer.. and sometimes it can get rough. It gets hard but I am very grateful to be alive! It is really nice to have met alot of nice people like I have on this site. You are very special for caring about other people's problems and for helping Miss Loretta feel so loved and important. She has to know that she is really special! Thanks for taking time to care. Linda

You know, when I read all of this, I say thanks to the Lord above, that, although I am a diabetic, who also struggles a bit some times, have not got the real struggles that you, at almost the same age as me(58), have. I think you and Miss Loretta are such brave people.
May you both be blessed. Welcome to cute from me too

I have been busy and have just visited briefy when I could for the last month and couldnt get to the QA for a bit. I have just come back to find this announcement and was shocked to hear of Loretta's condition. I feel very upset, shocked and can hardly find the words to express how I feel. She is a very kind lady and loved by many. It is a very nice gesture she has given for her membership and how wonderful is Veronkia for the Scholarship and to keep it going. It makes me very proud to be apart of this site. Love to you all, my precious friends. Sandra Hutchison, Australia.

I've not been around much over the past couple of weeks getting ready for a craft fair and away at weekends, so I've got a little behind on news and events. I'm so sorry to hear that one of our sisters is so poorly. I didn't know her but I sincerely that she and her family find the strength to come through this very difficult time, they can all be sure the the cute family is there with them in spirit. What a wonderful thing to pass on the membership and what a wonderful idea too for Veronika to turn it into a memorial membership in her honour. Congrats marymoore for being the first nominee - enjoy. Thanxs jrob for posting this announcement. Jo

Things like this are what make this site so GREAT! My prayers are always with Loretta. To ask that her membership be given to another in need is a credit to the woman we all cherish. Veronika's genorosity in creating a scholarship is.... the only word that comes to mind is COMMENDABLE. She just keeps giving and giving. These are all reasons we come back to this site daily. I truly love all the friends I've made here and am truly blessed to have found this site. Love to Loretta, congratulations to Mary.... And to Veronika, no appropriate words come to mind to let you know what a wonderful person you are. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Mickey

I hope that all of you can understand this posting....I just needed some relief and just as Loretta did, I find it in humor. She made me laugh so much......I wrote her daughter to give her this link so that maybe she could read how our community came together to honor a loved one. Please know I am not making fun of anyone, but as I sat here crying and mopping my nose, I thought of someone referring to Miss Loretta as legendary. I know that's not funny at all......but DO YOU KNOW ME???? If not, you will know me better after this: "This part is for you to tell Miss Loretta, as I know her fabulous sense of humor.....Someone on the post referred to her as legendary, and my first thought was BIG FOOT! How do you like that Loretta?.....you could become as famous as BIG FOOT!
As a matter of fact, there has already been a Loretta sighting in Perth, Australia the report was that she was carrying an enormous bundle of flowers !?!?.....Are you sleep walking?"
I hope this lightened your burden....it did mine because you can't laugh and cry at the same time. Love to all!

I hate to tell you but you can laugh and cry at the same time, 'cos I am right now. Still crying for our Lovely Lady, Miss Loretta, but imagining her reading this post and getting a real belly-laugh out of it. AND ANYONE DOUBTING THE BEAUTY AND LOVE BEHIND JERILYN'S POST doesn't know Miss Loretta's humour or Jerilyn. Just read two of Loretta's posts and it may give you some insight as to why she captured all our hearts. http://answers.cuteembroidery.com...

Jerilyn doesn't have a mean or disrespectful bone in her body and I defy anyone who thinks otherwise.
Laughter IS best medicine, especially when the hurt is so painful and difficult to deal with. It is a natural Human coping mechanism. hugs and thanks Jerilyn, for helping to make this sad time a little easier to bear.

It just came as such a terrible shock when I read that dreaded word 'terminal'. I needed time to process it and get my feelings under control. Some people seem to fill a special place in our hearts and our lives and for me, Miss Loretta is one of those Lovely Ladies, even though we have never met. The thought of her being ill and suffering is just too unbearable for me to accept.

God Bless Ms. Loretta, I would like to send her an angel, in fact I think we should all send her one to show her that God's angels are with her. I did this thru another site and received a note of appreciation from the family after their loved one passed. They said they received hundreds of angels that they placed all over the room. If anyone would provide an address I've got one ready for the mail today.

What a wonderful and thoughtful thing to do. It is amazing and inspirational to know that a person in a heart wrenching situation would take the effort to think of others. May God be with this beautiful person in her time of need, and bring her comfort. For this site to continue this tradition is truely an inspiration in the universal good that true love for others can bring.

Loretta was always thinking of others. What a wonderful thing for her to do. The scholarship membership to honor Lorretta is just an example of the generousity by Veronika. One of the best "Ramdom Acts of Kindness" I've heard lately.

I browsed sites for embroidery patterns both free and purchased...but what I have seen and read humbles me..to read and view the camaraderie and love that you ladies have found in each other..it is so much more than:CUTE it is heavenly..may you all keep the love circulating in the ozone layer...of the net and your hearts.

Isn't it just like Loretta - to think of another - when she couldn't use her membership? I know she will be honored and blessed by this special tribute. Jerrilyn thank you for helping Veronkia to present this to the 'CUTE' family - lucky Mary, she must be bursting at the seams, too! I adore the name 'Loretta's LOVE'

I think this is a wonderful gesture and i can't think of anyone more desiring than Mary Moore. She gives and gives and now she can recieve for a change. Thanks Veronika. I never got to know Miss Loretta but she will be in my prayer for peace at this time. It is appearent that she is also a very loving and giving person, like Mary Moore and Veronika. So glad we have been blessed with such special friends.

That is just too sweet. I will keep Miss Lorettag28 in my prayers. It just shows what kind of heart they both have, Miss Loretta, and Veronika! I feel so touched by such acts of kindness, in a world that sometimes seems so hard and loveless. Cute family is truly special! :) This act has truly touched me!

This is so sweet of Veronkia to do this. Ms Loretta was very nice to me when I first came into this "cute family". One of her projects was a FSL Key. She named it "Key To My Heart". Meaning that we all have the key to her heart. Ms Loretta ~ A Very Special Lady

A truly inspirational human-being is one who puts others before self. This is surely a fine example of the goodness and spirit exemplified by these actions. Thank you Veronika for the homage you extend to a fine Lady and may the thoughts and prayers of all Cuties be with you both.

This is wonderful of Loretta. I would like to suggest we name the perpetuating scholarship " Loretta's Love". That way we will remember who started it. Congratulations to Mary Moore to be the first recipient and very well deserved. We love you Mary!!!!

Mrs. Loretta was surely a blessing to this site, she is loved and missed and I think her wish is a wonderful thing and it is really nice from Veronika to do something like this. Mrs. Loretta is gone from our site but will never be forgotten, she surely picked a great cutie to be the recipient of the membership, Marymoore surely deserves it.

How Nice of Loretta to think of others during her time. I didn't know her ( before my time) but she must be a wonderful lady. Prayers go out to her and a *4u .Very nice of Veronika to do this too.I think it would be nice to be able to send a card "thinking of you" to her if we could.What does everyone think of this? Need and address to do this of course.

Having lost two close family members in the last six months the scholarship is a wonderful tribute to another human being.
Thank you.
