Mrs. Pittman's passing comes with great sadness. I knew her from the drugstore where I work and I always looked forward to seeing her. She always made me laugh with her very witty sayings. She was such a spitfire! Whenever I saw Mrs. Pittman I knew I would be in for a laugh. My sincere condolences to the family. I will miss you Mrs. Pittman!
