    Terri, I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Leonard and Bernice Pitman's daughter. I just wanted to say how much your mom meant to my parents. She was so generous and just fun for mom to visit with. She made the best peach cobbler that was sure to show up at any occasion-happy or sad. She will be missed. Thinking of you during this difficult time.

    I am sorry for your loss. Your parents were both a great inspiration to me and my family. Phyllis always greeted you with a great smile and an infectious laugh. She was a wonderful person and I am know you will miss her greatly, but knowing that she is with the Lord and her beloved for all eternity makes me happy.
