Deepest sympathy to Marilyn and all the family. Thinking of you,

My deepest sympathy. You all are in my thoughts and Prayers.
As a member of the PD support group, you are in my thoughts today.
To the Pittman Family: I am sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. It is never easy to deal with the death of a loved one no matter the circumstances. May the God of Comfort give you the strength to endure as you grieve Bob’s loss (2 Corinthians 1:3). It is times like this that make us look forward to the time when death will be done away with (Isaiah 25:8).
Maryilyn, I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I pray for God to give you strength and peace in the coming days. Love you, Ilona
Thinking of you and your family Sharon with sympathy.
HE WILL BE VERY MISSED,
