Loretta has passed away

Dear Friends,

I got a message this week from a friend of Loretta's informing me that she passed away on June 17th.

I had the good fortune to meet Loretta last year in Nashville at the annual AA&MDSIF patient conference. At that time I recall she was glad to meet others dealing with MDS and was hungry for knowledge about the disease and treatment options. I remember her bright smile and positive attitude. Loretta attracted friends and admirers--me among them--during that weekend conference.

Here are some words about Loretta from her friend:

"Loretta was a glorious fighter. She was gentle and strong at the same time...Her smile and laugh were always from the heart. Loretta remains in my thoughts today and always."

Let's continue the search for a cure for MDS and all bone marrow failure diseases in Loretta's honor.

Sincerely,
Ruth Cuadra
