Aunt Lorita's passing was a huge loss for everyone who knew and loved her. She was always exceedingly kind to me, and I will miss her greatly. Both she and Cathy had three wonderful sons, and the conversations invariably turned to "family". Our condolences to Jim, John, Scott and their families. Much love, Steve Pendleton & Cathy

My condolences to everyone. Lorita was a joy to see every Friday at Brandon Woods. Coming to know her during these past few years I was blessed when she called me her friend. We often talked about her wall of photos and how each person was related. She was thrilled when we added a photo of her great-grandson Jaxton in his bow tie at a recent wedding in Houston. My thoughts are with each of the families of Jim, John and Scott.

I really miss Lorita, she was such a sweet and caring person, and so loved her family! We had great times talking about all her "Pride and Joys". Thoughts and prayers to all her family. Thanks for letting me get to know both of your parents!

Our deepest condolences to all the Pendleton family in the loss of Lorita. She was such a joy to visit when we were up the road at the Clifford Coxes. Always sweet, kind to our children and to us.
What a sweet legacy she leaves.

My beloved Aunt Lorita was one of my favorite relatives. Married to my dad Bill Pendleton's brother Al, she showed me the joys of the farm life, a devoted marriage, and great kids. Jim, John, and Scott are upstanding and beyond reproach. They love the Lord, work hard, and help others. And their wives--Barbara (also the late Marilyn Lacey Pendleton), Karen, and Cindy--are the same. How we will miss her! But we know that she had put her faith in Jesus Christ, and is now in His joyful presence, healed and whole, anticipating that everyone in her circle of friends and family will make the same choice and spend eternal life with her. My deepest condolences to all who mourn her loss. May the Lord give you His peace, which passes understanding. Philippians 4:7
