It was a pleasure to have known Mitch. I remember the last time I talked with him, dad and I were sawing a locust log on David’s sawmill and it split from one end to the other he told us that was what they call ‘wind-shake’ Mitch maybe gone but he will not be forgotten.
So sorry for your loss. Many years have passed since our teenage years and I have lost my father too. I know how difficult this time is for you, Ann and David and your Mother. Please know you are in my Prayers. God Bless you, Nancy Teague Ballard
