Birline Mitchell

My papa was my heart, He was an amazing man who would give the shirt off his back. Though he could not read or write he decided to return to school in his 70's to learn how to read and write. My children and I would help him in the evenings and keep him encouraged becuase he was so determined to read his bible. Oh my goodness I will miss him dearly. Our talks, his baked peanuts, watching the baseball games together, My granmother and papa fussing in there own loving way and them watching us...

Even though I didn't know Mr. Mitchell well, I felt like I knew him because of the loving stories his granddaughter Tonia always shared with me. She loved her grandfather dearly and spoke so very highly of him. I know that he will truly be missed. My prayers are with the entire family and I know he is safe and comforted now in the arms of our Lord. Rest peacefully Mr. Mitchell, God Bless you.
