Aunt Gwen, Angela, and Pam, I wish I had the words to express my sympathy and to comfort you but words are so inadequate at a time like this. Mitchell was a great guy and he will be missed. This is such a difficult time for you but I hope you can take comfort in the loving memories that you have and in the knowledge that you will see him again. I pray that God will comfort you and Bless you. I love you. Sharon Wood
