Memories and Condolences
for Thomas Pitsch
July 25, 2011
Precious son of ours,
Your were our sweetest dream,
When you took your journey Home,
I wonder what was seen.
I knew the angels whispered,
From the look upon your face,
I knew that you were going,
To a restful, peaceful place.
Now my arms are empty,
My heart is filled with dreams;
Of you at peace in Heaven -
That place eyes have not seen.
So rest my son in God's safe arms,
Let angels kiss your face;
Till then, I hold you in my heart,
Till I meet you in that place.
Love, Mom & Dad

Dear Maggie, I just found out about your beloved son. I am so very sorry. Tom was so much fun the two years I had him in school. He always did everything he was asked to do in a polite and orderly manner. He had the best smile and was a real day brightner in class. I am just so sorry for your loss.
Please know I hold you in my prayers and know Tom is in the arms of a loving Father. God bless all of you.
Sincerly, Peg Wagner

You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I only got to know Tom briefly when he would either drop off or pick Alexis and Trevor up at Oak Park Preschool! He was friendly and a great dad! I want Alexis and Trevor to know that I am thinking of them and praying for them as well as everyone else!! I was completely shocked once I heard the news!!! Peace be with you!

Maggie, Jenny, and Tom, We wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers, please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss.
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal". I will always remember how Tommy’s smile would light up a room. He is an amazing person and most of all an amazing father. Alexis says “Her Daddy is not dead, he just went to Heaven”. May peace be with his kids and the Pitsch family.
Love, Tiffanie & Chris Wittman

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory

And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

This poem helps me get through the loss of my brother:
I love you Tommy!
When I am gone, don't cry for me.
Please smile each time you think of me.
I'm not beneath the ground you see.
Each breeze that blows is part of me.
I'm watching everything you do.
I am still sharing life with you.
No need to look both far and near;
Just listen close, I am right here.
I'm here to listen every day
To all the things you want to say.
I've seen you cry so many tears;
Be glad we had so many years.
Please take the love you gave to me
And give to others just like me.
So though I am gone, don't cry for me.
But smile each time you think of me.
