My sincere condolence for my aunt, and family. The loss of a loved one is always hard, and it seems to surface that same pain of other loved ones that have left us. My prayers,love, and care go out to all of you. The memory that serves me most on Uncle Loren was his commitment to the great out doors...His life of hunting, and fishing..seeing his big catch on the turtles at Cobb Lake, the sharing of his game/fish to relatives was highly appreciated, especially my mom, as she also had a big family to cook for at one time or another. He will always be in my memory book.

Dear Mrs. Pitch & Family, I wanted to drop a note to say how sorry I was to see Mr. Pitch had passed away. My Grandfather, Fred Barr worked for him at the Belding Landfill several years ago. I spent many of my childhood days riding in the front end loader with Grandpa & I know he thought the world of Mr. Pitch. Your family is in my prayers.

A Song by Luther Vandross with special meaning....
 DANCE WITH MY FATHER
 Back when I was a child Before life removed all the innocence My Father would lift me high and dance With my Mother and me and then spin me around 'til I fell asleep Then up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved IF I COULD GET ANOTHER CHANCE, ANOTHER WALK, ANOTHER DANCE WITH HIM I'D PLAY A SONG THAT WOULD NEVER, EVER END HOW I'D LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TO DANCE WITH MY FATHER AGAIN. When I and my Mother would disagree To get my way, I would run from her to him He'd make me laugh just to comfort me then finally make me do just what my mama said Later that night when I was asleep he left a dollar under my sheet Never dreamed that he would be gone from me IF I COULD STEAL ONE FINAL GLANCE, ONE FINAL STEP, ONE FINAL DANCE WITH HIM I'D PLAY A SONG THAT WOULD NEVER, EVER END 'CAUSE I'D LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TO DANCE WITH MY FATHER AGAIN. Sometimes I'd listen outside her door and I'd hear how my Mother cried for him I pray for her even more than me I pray for her even more than me I know I'm praying for much to much but could you send back the only man she loved? I know you don't do it usually but Dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
 I love you, Dad!
