The Pitstick family has been part of my life for years. I taught some of her family when I taught at Duff Elementary. Later her daughter began her teaching career with me at Rankin Elementary School. In 2006, I enjoyed visiting with Nancy as we stood at the Mt. of Beatitudes in Israel. Five years later, we visited at the Tel Aviv Airport in Israel.
Thanks so much Harold! It’s been a pleasure of ours knowing you as well. You have been a great influence to our family.
Elizabeth was one of the most precious teachers that I have ever had at Duff Elementary. I have enjoyed knowing her family. She was a very special lady. She’s got her wings now that she is in Heaven.
Ms. Pit was one of my most favorite people in the world. I would be with Nancy at their house on Cambridge and Ms.Pit would always talk to me. She was interested in what was going on in my life. For a teenage girl, that meant a lot! And it never changed every time I saw her in the later years. I know she impacted many children’s lives. What a legacy!
To Ann’s Family,
My heart seized up this morning when I saw the notice of Ann’s passing in the paper. It’s not that I was surprised, but Ann was a light in this world. It’s hard to lose the light even when it had dimmed to a soft glow. Her friendship with my mom Zora was a delight for both of them. It was truly a blessing in those times of loss – loss of youth, independence, their homeplace. Whenever I stayed with Zora, having Ann join us for meals and chats was a treasure for all the rest of us, too.
I hope the end was easy. She has received the ultimate healing and restoration.
Blessings and peace to you all knowing you took wonderful care of her to the last.
