To the Bittick family,
I was so sorry to learn about Carolyn's death. She was a good friend of my mother, Claire Council Zorn of Jesup, Ga. They went to elementary school together in Athens and were ADPIs at Georgia. I lived in LaGrange in the 80's and Carolyn was so kind to us while we were there. She came to my mother's funeral in 2003. I still have several receipes of hers that my mother collected. My aunt Ellen Council of Waycross, Ga. was a good friend of Carolyn's sister Sara. Please accept our condolescences.

Pete, I was so sorry to learn of Carolyn'd death in today's AJC. I remember that she was ill when we had our luncheon in May.
I regret that I never had the opportunity to know Carolyn well, but reading her notice she must been a truly great person. Geroge Alexander

Joe,
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom over 20 years ago and it is like it was yesterday. Please know that God promises to awaken those from sleep back to life on earth (John 5:28,29). What a joyful time that will be to see our moms again in good health. Until, we will miss them.

Mrs. Bittick seemed to be a very family-orineted and loving person. We are reminded of Jesus love toward all human kind, and we can take comfort in his words at Matt 11:28,29.
