Our classmate Lisa Pitts Martin passed away this morning. Her brother, Jerry Pitts, posted the following today. Please pray for Lisa's husband Bobby and her brother Jerry and his family.
"In life, nothing matters more than family. It’s weird, as life happens the definition of family changes. When you say family now, I think of my wife and kids first, but in other context, when you say family, I think of ‘my’ family as a puzzle of 4 pieces, mom, dad, Lisa, and myself. The core family that I’ve always known. We did everything together, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
For those that know, my sister is an extremely private person, especially when it comes to her health. It’s for this reason that I have not shared that we have been in a battle of our lives over the past month. On April 5 Lisa had a heart attack which led to her wrecking her car. The fight was long and intense, but as of this morning, Lisa lost this fight.
I’ll never be able to thank everyone enough for all the love, prayers, and support over this past month. Although she was bull headed and had to be in control of everything, she also had a heart of gold. She loved fiercely and loved helping people out. She was an amazing teacher, friend, wife, daughter, aunt, and sister. She will be greatly missed.
Please keep Bobby in your thoughts and prayers. This man has been a true angel to my sister and I could never have hand picked a better soul mater and partner for her.
For now, I will remain a single piece to a puzzle, waiting to be put back together to become whole again."
