I will always treasure the friendship I had with Loretta. I met Loretta through her daughter Jaye playing volleyball and basketball while attending the Dieringer School District in the valley and at Sumner High School as well. She was always present at both John and Jaye’s sports events, cheering on her kids.

Loretta had a phenomenal sense of humor and as Jaye and I grew up, Loretta became more to me than Jaye and John’s mom. She was my friend and I called her momma.

Loretta will be missed by so many, but she will never be forgotten.

What a life! What a positive bright light in so many lives. I was blessed to have her in my life and grateful to be apart of her last days. Jaye you gave her and uncle Eddie many years of comfort and care and you gave back to two people who loved you so much! They were proud of you! Have comfort in imagining John, Eddie and Loretta and all the beloved fur babies over the years are together watching over you! What a reunion that will be. Until then, live your best life and keep on keeping on. Comfort is in Christ, one day at a time! I love you so much. The room is ready for you KC and Chloe. Say when.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
