I continue to carry Dr. Pitts in my heart. She had a lasting influence on me and so often I hear her wisdom whispering to me. I really appreciated her.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Pitts on an inpatient psychiatric unit. She had such compassion for her clients and was one of "the best". I will truly miss her.

Dr. Pitts had such a powerful impact on my life; I cannot express what she meant to me. I have one really big regret and that is that I did not keep a journal for the 10 years I saw her. I want to look back on printed pages of her wisdom, but her guidance will always be with me. She helped me become a better person. I loved her and she will live on in a special place in my heart. In the letter she sent to her friends, she included a note to me: "The depth of your grief reflects the intensity of your caring." I cannot say it better. I will deeply miss her. I am sorry for your loss, our loss. B.J.V.
