Our thoughts and prayers are with The Pitts family. May your beautiful memories sustain and bring comfort to you during this difficult time. May God's Blessings & Comfort uphold & keep you close to him. Because Matthew 5:4 - Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Know that Dad Frank was loved and very kind to many. Keep the the precious memories alive and let them carry you through this season.
I lit a blue candle on this posting today in memory of Frank. It will remind me of all the times I came to care for him and he almost always had his blue southern hat on. That light blue color matched the light I would receive coming from his eyes and face as he would always light up with a smile.... all the way through till his final days. That same light must be contagious because I would see it in family, friends, and caregivers that came into his room. Most significantly, I would see this in his wife Diane. My heart goes out to y'all as a family as you grieve the transfer of Franks light from one place to another now. We bring you prayers of support and comfort.
I just want you to know how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Over this past year, he truly became my Pawpaw in every way that mattered always so kind, full of warmth, and someone who made me feel welcomed and loved. Every time Frank saw me, he had the biggest smile on his face, and he always recognized me. Just seeing him smile brought me happiness every single day I saw him. Those moments are memories I will forever cherish. And to you, thank you Mrs. Dianne! Your strength, love, and heart have meant more to me than I can put into words. Please know you're not alone. I'm holding you close in my thoughts and prayers, and I'm always here for you whenever you need anything.
May Almighty Father God bless and comfort the family and strengthen the family
