Ules, Marian, Jessica, Jennifer, Pitts Obituary

Haven´t forgotten you. Think about you often. Love to all.

Memory of my Godchild, Marian, and her family. Thoughts and prayers.

A flash of a moment in time, I almost can feel my holding Marian the day of her Christening. She was a sweet bundle of joy.

Missy, best wishes to you.

Missy,
We've had a long bumpy relationship and have both moved on. Just want you to know that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you or your family. They were always great to me and are the nicest, most honest forgiving people I have ever met. I hope all is well with you and you are all in my prayers.

I will never forget the day this happened. And I will never forget how wonderful your family was. I am lucky to have spent so much time with your family as I was growing up. They were always so welcoming. I hope you are doing well Missy.

Doesn't feel like it's been 5 years. Time is slipping by. I will never forget the Pitts.It still shocks me.I love them them like my own family. I will do my best to give Missy all the love and support she deserves.

Everyday they are missed and loved. I was there by your side 5 years ago to love you and support you and mourn with you. And I will be there for the rest of time to remember them and love them and share stories of them with your boys. I love you and will be there by your side. XOXO

I miss Marian every day.. I have this picture on my tv stand and I look at it every day. I miss Miss Teddy Bear...

I still after five years can't express the sorrow we feel, but rest assured your parents, sisters and brother are looking down and singing of love and joy. They were all amazing. It reflects in all you do. They are all truly missed even still. God Bless you Missy. You and yours are always in our prayers....

As we near 5 years, Aunt Deanna and I still mourn your loss with you. I miss my sister just as much today. No one really knew how close we were. I Love You all

Jessy you were so amazing and full of life! I can't believe we are coming up on 5 years! I'm so thankful knowing I have you as my guardian angel! Miss you gorgeous. <3

I know its almost been 5 years, but I never knew this was even here. As the 5 year mark approaches, please sign this guest book with love and memories. It would truly be appreciated.

HI MISSY i know its been a very long time but i still think about them from time to time I m very very sorry this had to happen best of luck DICK WARE

Today is the anniversary and it hurts me very much. I had an English class with Jen, my freshman year and she was so bubbly. I remember she would sing "To the Left" song in Mr.Hartly's class, and how annoyed he would get. :) I remeber looking at her across the room and thinking she was lucky to be such a beautiful girl. In a way I was jealous of her. It pains me now to think how short her life was and how immature I was. Jen was always kind to everyone and was funny. When I felt like an outcast in the class, she was kind to me or would be goofy. Though I didn't know her completely, I did get to see a girl full of excitment and silliness. She had confidence I never had then. As I have gone threw trials in my life sometimes I will think of Jen and how silly she was or how she would be kind enough to talk to me. She has been missed and today for me is a day of silence. God bless you. Many prayers.

Melissa, I only knew your Dad from the Preferred Fleet shop at Durango and 27th Ave. I have been bringing our truck in their for repairs and service since before Jay Sr. and your Dad bought the place. I was in today and talking with your GrandDad about things, and finally thought to ask about Jay Jr., and that I had not seen him in a while. I figured he was in Florida playing with his boats, or out getting parts on my previous visits. When Jay Sr. told me, I was dumbstruck, and felt bad for not even knowing. I wanted to do something, but felt everything had probably already been said, or done, by your close friends and family. Then I saw this guest book and felt compelled to tell you what a sweet, honest, helpful, funny guy I always knew your Dad to be. His smile was always there. He taught me how to shift the big trucks without using the clutch. I am sorry, but blessed to have known him. Thank you for this opportunity to share my feelings with you. God bless, and take care.

Hello Missy,
Just a note to say hello, and that I am thinking about you. I hope you are doing well. Best Wishes for a Happy Valentine.

Melissa,
I have been thinking alot about you. My son Dekota was in Jessica's Toybox class when he was 4. We still talk about her and miss her very much. I hope you are doing well after all the holidays. Just wanted you to know we still have you in our hearts.
Penny and Dekota

Hi Melissa,

I was one of Jennifer's classmates for almost two years. I still can't believe she's gone. I remember her commenting about how clumpy make up was and everything. She always seemed to know what to say. She was an amazing person, and will be missed. I remember when I found out that Jen had died, Me and my friend Heather were on myspace when one of my friends Alexa's status said "RIP Jen and Pitts Family" All I remember was asking Alexa if this was some sick joke. Then when we saw it on the news we realized that indeed it wasn't a joke. and that this was real. I just can't believe she's gone. We all miss her. I wish I could make a concert in her memory and help raise some money to go to you.

I just heard what happened, Mar use to babysit my daughter Jaimee and I worked with Mar a long time ago. We are so very sorry for your loss. Jaimee goes to Greenfield now and we both just read the story in the grizzly express. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

melissa u probably dont remember me...me and jess used to be best friends when we were little..me her and michelle rago?...i couldnt believe when i heard the news..i actually didnt believe it..michelle told me first and then i saw in the news..i didnt know what to say before because i know its gota be the heardest thing ever..just know that theyre all looking over you now and youll get through this <3

Jessica was my GHS intern last year at Mesquite Elementary. She was always so sweet, kind and full of energy! The children and I adored her. I am so sad to hear of this family's tragedy. My prayers are with you.

Ms. Pitts, there is a book I think you should read that could potentially help you through this very painful time . It's called " The Shack" by William Young. I am not the author and I don't know him. May you find comfort and strength in the Lord.

Melissa,
I am thinking of your family today. I hope you are doing well. We are getting ready to go back to school and my son Dekota is going back to Toybox for his 2nd year. When we are there Jessicas memories live on and she still does great work there in our hearts. We miss you Jessica.:o)
Love, Penny and Dekota

My thoughts and prayers are certainly with you, Melissa. I can't even begin to imagine the loss of your family like this. So many people care for you and will be there for you. We can all grieve together, yet share those many wonderfull memories.
I'm another Marjorie Janovics. My husband, Jim (who died five years ago), was your grandmother's cousin. Although my boys and I didn't know your immediate family, we can certainly send our love and prayers to you and your extended family.

To the entire Pitts family, our deepest and most sincere condolences for your loss. I knew "JJ" through a business association with the family business in Phoenix. I always respected and admired "JJ", he was a great guy. To all of the Pitts family, you will be in our family and friends thoughts and prayers.

Melissa, I'm your great-aunt and I can remember you from when you were little. I remember your siblings and the fun they all seemed to be having. Your parents were wonderful people and you could see the love in their children. It's so hard to lose your family, you'll always miss them but the pain will lessen some with time. Know that what you are, what you will become in life, is based on the love your parents gave you and the way they raised you, and whatever you do in life will be touched by their love. I am so sorry for your loss. I know your aunts and uncles will rally around you and know that if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask and I will do whatever I can too.

I just wanted to say, like everyone else, i am so sorry for your loss. i cannot imagine how you must feel. However, i'd like to wish you the best of luck moving forward, your meant to do great things. This will make you stronger, i hope you know your never alone. I now live in wind drift as of a couple days ago and i heard your story through my new landlord... Gary. Hope things start to get easier.

Melissa, I'm so sorry to hear about your family. I knew your Mother in High School. We had child care classes together. We had some fun times. Met your Dad a few times when they just started dating. I brought out my yearbooks, just to see what your Mother wrote to me and reminisce.I forgot she liked to be called Teddybear. Wish we never lost touch, Because she was a fun and loving girl. My prayers are with you, in this time of need.

Melissa,

I have not met you but my uncle hal lives across the street from you. I am so sorry to hear about your family. I found a picture the other night of jen jen with my cousin erika from about 10 years ago. Those 2 were such good friends. Please know that you and your family are in my families thoughts and prayers.

I am so very sorry for your loss. May God give you strength and courage in this time of need.

Melissa I am so sorry for this has happened to your family. I will pray for you . I am a friend of Karin Siebert's and knowing how loving Karin is,I can imagine that you and your family are the same way.

.my heart will hurt forever you dont know me but me and your mom were best cousins when we were growing up. since the day i got one of the worst phone call of my life the memories of me and your mom been running in my head your mom was everything to alot of people .she would make the bad days good which you know i just wanted to say i sorry you so young to have to feel so much pain .

Resurrection Promise

Do not cry as your loved ones pass,
God has promised it will not last,
The time is coming with all things new,
And your loved ones brought back to you,

Revelation 21: verses three and four,
States that death and sorrow will be no more,
Remember Jesus said his friend was asleep,
We will be called back to be his sheep,

Yes it hurts to lose someone,
But soon every bad thing will be undone,
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart,
He’s been with us from the start,

So as we go on in this old life,
Remember he will rid us of this pain and strife,
Take his hand and see his power,
When he brings his judgment hour,

Those in the memorials tombs will come out,
We will all be happy and able to shout,
Look what God has went and done,
He's brought back Mothers, Fathers, Daughters and Sons.

Missy

My heart reachs out to you.
I think I remember most about your family is how they always made everyone feel welcome to there house & of course pool.
There was always something to do when you entered the house of the Pitts.
You and Becky were such great freinds always staying at your house for sleep overs.
I just want you to know if there is anything that you need you can call me any time day or night. Even if you just need to talk I will listen.
Love you
Maggie Shue

Melissa -
I have never formally met you, but my parents live across the street from the house you were/are renting in Windrift. I just wanted to let you know that the neighbors and my family are thinking of you at this difficult time. Just remember everything happens for a reason, even though sometimes it just dosen't make sense. You are here for a reason and God must know that you can do this. Keep your head up and remember your family will always be watching over you. Take care ...

And to you Missy, in remaining the only survivor of six in your immediate family and all in a single moments time, is something that my mind can not even begin to wrap around it's experience.

Melissa, I am so very sorry to hear about your massive loss. Losing one family member is hard to deal with, but losing everyone in your immediate family is the most horrible thing you can possibly bear. My heart goes out to you

Melissa,
My family and I would like to express our deepest condolenses. We can't imagine what you are going through. It's heartbreaking. Please stay strong. You were left here for reasons bigger than you know. Your family will always be a part of you and you a part of them. Your friends and your city will support you in every way that they can.

Safely Home
by Unknown

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Melissa~
I'm not sure how you are able to stay so strong-but after reading the paper today, it is obvious you are one strong, mature young woman-who loved her family dearly. Although I do not know you personally, your tragic situation has touched not only myself, but my family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Time will eventually heal your wounds. May the memories of you family help you through this difficult time!

To the Pitts family and Karen;

I'm so sorry for your loss, my heart and prayers are with you.

Stay strong honey.

Melissa,
I just read about your family in the paper. If I had one wish today it would be that you did not have to endure the pain of such an overwhelming tragedy. Even though I don't know you, I feel as if we are all connected. As a mother of a 14 year old and coming from a large family myself, my heart truly goes out to you. I wish I had the perfect words of wisdom or comfort...but I don't. I do want you to know I will pray for you everyday that God wraps His arms around you...He may not dry your tears or remove your pain...but He will be there with you as you greive. You are loved by this big Arizona family. if you need a friend or a shoulder ...please feel free to contact me. God Bless You, Terill

May God Bless you and always hold you close. Fulfull your dreams and be a shining star!

Melissa,
I am truly sorry for your greif right now and I can't imagine what your feeling or going through. I feel very strongly that God does have a special plan for you. Remember always that your family is smiling down on you and you are never alone. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

God has a plan for you sweet girl-God bless you on this journey and may the holy spirit guide you and direct you....

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have no idea what you are going through, but reading this article, you will get through it. God does have a purpose for you and you must believe that to keep going. Reach out to friends, family and strangers for comfort; you will find there is many who you have touched that you didn't even know. May God comfort you and help you through this horrible tragedy

Melissa,
Your sister Jessica cared for my nephew at the Toybox in Gilbert and when my neice told us of your loss our prayers and thoughts went out to you. Please know you have alot of people here for you.
God Bless

Melissa: I am deeply saddened by your tremendous loss. I lost my mother to cancer in late 2000 and my sister in an accident in early 2001. It's never easy to lose someone you are that close to; I can't imagine losing my entire family as you have suffered. The pain does soften with time. Eventually you will remember your family members only with love and some longing. So hang in there.

Yes, there must be some amazing higher purpose in store for you. Your family will be watching your life and, I have no doubt after reading this article, you will make them proud. Be very good to yourself and take all the time you need to get through this. You deserve it.

Melissa,

My heart feels for you. I don't know you or your family, but your words are so similar to me. I lost my mother a year ago and I was devestated. I couldn't imagine losing the rest of my family also. You have the most positive attitude given the situation. I only wish to help you in this hard time. Your family seems so spectacular and you hold them so high. I love your positive words about your family and your outlook on this tragic time. Your strength is so moving and yet I can feel your devistation. You are an insipration!
Like i said i don't know you or your family, but i just felt compelled to write. STAY STRONG!

Melissa,

I am so sorry for the loss of your family. It sounds like you were all so close. May the memories comfort you, and I'm sure in one way or another they will always be with you.

Missy... words cant express how I feel for you...
Just know that me and the boys are here for you as always.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Melissa,
Bless you sweet, sweet girl. My family holds you in our prayers.

Our family is so sorry for your loss. Your sister, Jessie, was a teacher's aide in our twin sons class this year, and they were heartbroken to hear about Miss Jessica and your family. Please know she was a ray of light as she worked with the children, and this world has lost a special young lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you find your way to honor your family and yourself with your spirit and your chosen life work.

I find it incredibly brave and powerful that you are able to realize that you were left in this world for a purpose in the face of such enormous tragedy. I hope you find your way and never give up on your dreams. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Melissa,

I don't know you, however I did lose my mom when I was 23. It's been very hard to be without her. However I did find how much love there is in the world for all of us. Take long calming breaths and cry as much and whenever you need to...take little steps forward and know that you are loved. Laura

When I first read this story, it deeply saddened my heart. And now I read how you have found acceptance and how you have a belief that you have a purpose here on God's earth. What a wonderful person you are and what a beautiful family you can carry in your heart forever. God Bless you and go out and become what you were meant to be. You have an excellent start. My prayers are with you in this time of sorrow and grief. One Day at a Time, the pain will pass.

Hello, Melissa, I don't know you and didn't know your family, but I feel your heartache. May God Bless you on your journey and may your family members rest in peace.

My prayers go out to you, Melissa. I can't imagine what you are going through. Reading this article should make everyone count their blessings. Be strong and keep your faith.

Melissa,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. What a huge life altering change. You are right, you were left here to do something big. It will come to when you least expect it--you may change the world. Remember their spirits are still hanging out with you. Just talk and trust me, they are all listening. You'll find little instances around you and you'll then know they are there. My uncle turns lights off.....
Take care,
Melissa

My thoughts and prayers go out to you. May god be with you each and everyday to hold and help you through this difficult time. I feel for you. We lost our 15 sister 2years ago to a tragic accident and its been the hardest thing in the world for myself and family. So god bless you Melissa. Shannon & Loni Benge of Phoenix

I'm writing from Columbus, Ohio, an Arizona native far removed from her home. Since you don't know me, I will be brief. Having lost my mother only a year ago, I can say that the feeling of loss doesn't go away, but this is a good thing. It means that your loved ones are really still in your heart, and you can keep their memory for the love and for the guidance that they provide, well into the future. In memorial for your family of blessed memory.

I had the pleasure of working for Jay Jr and his father at their shop approximately 10 years ago. He was a great employer as well as a dynamite individual. I remember him talking about flying all the time. I am so sorry for your loss. Sincere regards to Melissa, Jay Sr., Marge, and the family.

Melissa,
My name is Alix. My brother was a member of Jeremy's basketball team last year. I cant even begin to explain my sympathy for you. I am very saddened for you, but know that you have a wonderful family and they are in a good place now. God Bless you, Melissa.

You are right. You were left here for some purpose. It may take some time to figure out what that is, but you are a strong and amazing woman. My thoughts and prayers are will you stranger friend. Keep your chin up!

I am very sorry for your loss. My mom passed on in 1999, my dad in 2001. I know the days ahead look dark but like you said, God left you here for a reason, and I believe he did too. Take care of yourself and allow others to help you. You're in my prayers.

Dear Melissa:

We don't know each other but I am deeply saddened by your loss. I can only imagine what you are going through and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I thought it was awesome what you said about there being a huge reason why you stayed behind. God speed!!!

Dear Melissa,

I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine what you are going through. Please know that I am praying for you. Stay stong in your faith and know that our Lord with comfort you and guide you. My heart goes out to you.

Dear Melissa - I can't imagine the pain you are feeling; my heart goes out to you. May God comfort you in your grief and strengthen your faith in Him. Praying for you...

God bless you and provide courage and stenth to endure the difficult days to come. Your story is close to home....Back in the 1970's this same identical tradegy happened to a good friend of mine. His father piloted a family trip, he did not go due to employment reasons and he tragically lost his entire family. He was only about 18-20 years old at that time. I'm happy to share with you that my friend healed and moved forward in his life and with the Lord's strength, you will too. My prayers and thoughts are with you Melissa.

Melissa, I am so sorry for the loss of your family. Reading your interview today broke my heart. There are very few people who can understand your pain right now. You are in my prayers.

Melissa-
I do not know you, but my heart goes out to you. I don't know how you will carry on but somehow you will. You may not have them physically, but they will each be by your side. Have no regrets and keep living the life you always dreamed.

My deepest condolences to you young lady. Know that they are all watching over you. Surround your self with friends and extended family for support. You are in my thoughts.

Melissa,
It is true, God has a special task just for you. I know that this seems unbearable, and it seems like your mind is in a million places, but it is times like this that show who we are and the power and strenght of the God that we serve. I do not know you, but I will keep you in my daily prayers. I know one day we will hear of you again, as you are completing the honorable task God has for you.

May God strengthen and hold you in his mighty hands,

Melissa~
I can't imagine losing my entire family but I do know what loss feels like. My 19 year old son died in January.
God will descend upon you and carry you through.

My prayers and thoughts are with you.
