We send our condolences to the Kitts family. We treasure our friendship with Ed as a doctor, friend, and fellow worshiper at St Mary’s. He was truly one of a kind who made all of his patients feel special.

Ed Kitts was truly, one fine gentleman, who we have missed both on the golf course and at our church. He was a valuable addition to every organization he was a part of and we are saddened by his passing. Our sympathy goes out to his former patients, friends, and most of all his family.
