Such a tremendous loss. Mitch was a good man and friend to many. We are so very sorry for your loss Betty. Please try to remember in this time of sadness, you have friends. Some will offer advise, some will give a much needed hug , some will listen to the silence with you and then there are those that will do all of them if you need it. I am one that will that if you need it.
Betty, I am so sorry, I am praying for your family and your strength. My dearest Sympathy for you.
While it’s easy to be overcome with sadness, I am trying to focus on some of my favorite memories of Mitch. The huge stack of drink holders from Hardees in the floor board of the red dodge truck…The daily updates about his epic battle with a leaky window in his truck (and the dealership that sold it to him)…The time a guy road raged him on SR37…The few times he cut his hair and walked in and nobody recognized him…and his unabashed happiness after his granddaugher was born. We have already been missing Mitch at work and will do so for a long time.
Betty, Lorraine, and family,
So very sorry to hear of Mitch’s passing.
May he rest in heaven peacefully knowing how loved he is.
Love,
Sarah and Nathan Wilbers
I am very sorry for your loss. The Bible can offer much needed comfort at this difficult time. Jesus said at John 5:28 and 29, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the Memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life…”
