Mrs. Pitts was a wonderful teacher and role model for me for many years at OLMC. She taught me not only a lot about school work, but also a lot about life. She was an inspiration to me as well as many of my friends. She touched the lives of so many and will be deeply missed. May God bless all of you - my thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Pitts Family
Your mother was a wonderful lady who has touched my life and for that I am forever changed! She was my 8th grade teacher. She also taught my older brothers/younger brother as well. They all were sad to hear that she has passed on to be with the LORD. What I most remember about your mother is she was so excited to walk the 12 mile annual marathon. She kept me going when I wanted to quit. She taught me many things in my short time with her. I will never forget her. On behalf of Johnny, David, Clarence and myself I want to say that we feel your pain and loss.
God Bless and Peace be with you.
Sincerely the Watson Family

To the Pitts Family:
I don't know if you remember me but, I lived across the street from you guys when I was a kid. My father called me yesterday and told me he had read that your mom had passed away. We were all sorry to here this. Your mom was my religion teacher and we also took guitar lessons together at the church one year. I rember most of all your family's dinner bell. She would come outside and ring that bell when dinner was ready or she wanted you guys to come inside. Those are the kind of things you will never forget. My family and I send our sympathy and our prayers to all the Pitts kids.

Hello Mike and Nita,
Please accept Herschel and my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your Mother. I lost my Dad several years ago also. God does give us comfort and strength each day through the knowledge that we, as believers in Jesus Christ, will see our loved ones again - I truly believe very soon. In the meantime, take comfort in the fact that your Mom is now living with Christ and no longer is subject to sickness, pain, and the sorrow that this life on earth offers.
Please know that all of us in the FLRP family truly love you.
Sincerely,
Carole Buckner

I was sad to hear of Mrs. Pitts passing, but I was so pleased to have been blessed by her teachings and her friendship. I was a student of hers at OLMC and am proud to say that she was one of my very favorite teachers and also one of my good friends. She not only taught me different subjects in school, but she also taught me to be a better person, christian, and catholic. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her friends and family.

Dear Mike,
I was sorry to hear of your loss and my prayers are with you. You were very supportive when my mom passed away and I will always remember that. It was at this time last year when my mom passed away and now I will be able to remember your mom along with mine. Perhaps they are now friends in heaven. Take care and keep in touch.

To all of my Pitts cousins,
I have always admired what great adults you have become due solely to Aunt Ceil and her teachings. She always put all of you first and only wanted to join Uncle Eddie some day. Now she has...She has never forgotten your dads side of the family and often made us feel like all of you were right next to us. I will miss her.

Mike, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I have also experienced the pain and loss of both parents. Your mother still lives on in the hearts and minds of the family and friends that loved her. Be strengthened in knowing that she was a beautiful loving and caring person and she produced a son (and others) just like her to carry that torch. Your FLRP family is there if you need us.

I have long considered Cecilia to be one of my mentors. She taught me. Hugged me. Scolded Me. Loved me. She was never without a smile for anyone. She taught all of us how to be good people. Both by her teachings and by example. She made a profound effect on my life as well as many, many others. She will be sorely missed! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends!

Michael, Christine, Martin, John, and Anne - Your are all in my thoughts and prayers. I always admired your Mother for stepping up to the plate and raising all of you by herself, of course with your father watching from above. She was a terrific lady and never forgot the Pitts side of the family for a minute. I will be doing a private vigil wed. evening as you celebrate her mass. Love and Prayers to all of you. Aunt Kay

My sympathy on the loss of your mother. I didn't get to meet her but the kind of person she was is well reflected in those she left behind. I am trying to have a Mass said in her honour at St William of York church in Stafford

Aunt Cecilia, We thank you for the fact that, through all these years, you never forgot about us. I, for one, will always admire you for your honesty. You would praise someone when they were deserving,also you would not hesitate to steer someone (me) in the right direction if they were running astray.
We will miss you greatly, but we know that you are happy to be reunited with Uncle Eddie, and watching over us all, together.
Steve, Magie, Nicole, and Alan Drake

Michael Christine Martin John and Anne, So sorry to hear of your and our loss. Your Mother meant so much to me personally as we grew up and in school. Also in my adult life ,she was a shining example to everyone she encountered in faith courage and tenacity. She alone moulded much of my faith as well as that of my wife and daughter. I will miss her smiling face at Sunday Masses. But her gifts will never be forgotten. Christ's Love, Nicholas Rebecca and Andrea Gotting
