Mrs. Witt was very kind to me when I was a young kid working with Jen in the restaurant industry. I enjoyed our visits to the Witt house in Stoneleigh. Jen and Tom and I had a big adventure going out to the antiique barn to furnish our little house. Later when life handed me some challenges Mrs. Witt and Jen reached out to me. The Witt family has been a nice chapter in my life. So sorry for your loss.

Dear Jennifer, Joanne, and Tom
My mother just called me with the sad news. Both of us will miss her so. My mother keenly felt the loss of one of her closest friends and I know she was always kind to me. From my earliest age, I remember her involvement in mine and Tommy's life. May you all fare well and find whatever confort you may need.
