Mrs. Pittman was a wonderful teacher. She helped me develop a love for language arts. Throughout my high school years, she was always so kind and helpful. She was a true southern lady that shared the love of Jesus in her actions and sweet spirit. Rest in peace, Mrs. Pittman. You made a difference for those you taught.
