Mom, I love and miss you so much. You weren't just a mom to me but you were also my best friend. I'm gonna miss going to concerts with you and our Sunday rides. You always found a way to make me laugh even when I was in a bad mood. I'll miss going to the movies and just hanging out watching TV with you. I'll never find another friend like you and I am forever great full to you for picking me to be your daughter. I'll always love you. You were the best Mom in the world. Your daughter, Cheri

My thoughts and prayers to Cheri, Pam, Gail, Gil, Rudy, Greg and all of the Haag Family. I had the privilege of getting to know Loretta and her family, through my friendship with Cheri over the past 27 years. Mrs. Haag always made me feel welcome and comfortable in her presence. I will miss her very much.

She loved life and enjoyed dancing. We went to line dancing together and had a lot of laughs doing that. She will be deeply missed by all, my boys,dean and Jeffrey thought the world of her. RIP
