As you cross the threshold of your new Heavenly Home, straightway you will find exquisite walls displayed with platinum framed photographs of the many lives that you have touched. Instantaneously, Mr. Pittman's soul connected with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Angels stood by Heaven's Gate shouting with an exuberant voice, "Glory Hallelujah - Mr. Pittman is coming home!"
WHEREAS, some people will remember Mr. Sherman Pittman for his charming personality, stylish apparel and his ability to listen with an intent to hear and share great insight on difficult matters. While so many others were captivated by his hearty laugh and extreme passion for people within the community.
