The Pittman families...living side by side during my youth...were cornerstones of everything good and important in Rockingham. Jane was not just a matriarch of a family, she was an incredibly important leader and teacher of children. Her loss creates a family, friend and community vacuum. Evidence of her success as a mother is easy to spot as her children are simply outstanding humans.
