If I had a flower for every time you made me smile and laugh, I'd have a garden to walk in forever.

And from Find A Grave, we found this:
Pamela is survived by her loving husband of 25 years, Scott; her mother, Dorothy and sisters, Dana and Jodean (Jim); her loving fur babies Reagan Jean and Shelby Anne Kelcee and many family and friends. Thank you to the Petrolock family. Services were held May 9, 2015 at Halley Olsen Murphy Funerals and Cremations, 44831 N. Cedar Ave., Lancaster. Donations can be made in Pamela's name to The Seeing Eye Dog Foundation.

To Our Loved One
Life has happiness, joy and sorrow
But never promises about tomorrow
your smile, laugh and loving touch
A happiness you gave no one can touch

Life is unfair when it takes anyone
These words you will hear flowing
from every tongue
We all sit and ask ourselves why
But deep inside we know even the
good must die.

It is Hard to let go of the ones we love
We must remember they are with God above
You have now taken your place with the best
Our loving God and Eternal rest.

Terry Pittsford, BHS '63, Died Easter Sunday 2016



Diane Babko wrote today in Facebook, "Terry Pittsford, class of 1963, who brought joy, laughter, music and friendship to many of us, passed away on Easter Sunday. John McWilliams (class of 1962) wrote these thoughts about Terry."

Terry
March 2016

The Music Man
The voice,
the wry grin
Filling the stage
With relish
Unbridled enthusiasm

The skeptical observer
Earnestly- sometimes relentlessly-pursuing
politicos and perceived scoundrels

The would-be loner
Disappearing into the woods
Or the back of his panel truck
But ever willingly
Enmeshed in Nature

Jackie Gleason, Jonathan Winters,
And a host of others
Impersonated with not so subtle grins

The occasionally almost reluctant survivor....
Then returns the artful comedian

The Music
Has left us
But surely to the delight of the souls
Who now await him
