Not sure what to say?

I was the young staffer at Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church who was given the opportunity of a lifetime to learn from Mitch Jericho. Under Mitch's tutelage I learned how to harness the creative energy of volunteers into a force for change and good as we endeavored to create the Volunteer Ministry program. I have carried her wisdom and inspiration with me for a lifetime as I have sought to lead by her example. I am so grateful to have known her. What a remarkable woman she...

Judy, Jennifer and Bonnie,
I just read about your mother in the St. Micheal announcements and I am sorry for her passing. I walk in front of the Potomac house everyday and often think of your family. What a formidable woman. With love and respect, Annie Snider Reece.

I will always remember how wonderful, helpful, and nurturing Mitch was to me "back in the day" when we started The Innovators of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League. She made sure we went through "all the hoops" of getting it right so it would be a lasting way for young women DSO supporters to be involved. I truly value her and know that she has left an example and legacy for many to follow.

Mitch achieved so much, touching the lives of all she knew and she had zest for life that was incomparable. She will remain in our hearts and in our memories forever. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. The world is a sadder place, but Heaven is richer for her presence. Prayers are with you and your family.

She was a great influenceon me from the time I met her when I started at SMU. In so many volunteer activities I would admire her leadership. My condolences to her family.

It seems like we knew Mitch forever. Guess it's time for her to be with Gene in Heaven, but we wish she'd never aged. What a force for GOOD! We knew her from the Dallas Symphony - raising money of course. Becky first worked with her in the early 1990s on the board of Young Audiences, a candle Mitch held forever. Thank you for sharing your mother. God bless all of you and know you are dearly loved in her memory.

My dad was a good friend of her husband. I remember meeting her and her daughter at what was then called Park Cities Bank and Trust in the Highland Park Village on November 10.1972.The next time I met her was in December,2018,when I was at Edgemere for rehab following hip replacement surgery. With deepest sympathy to the family and their friends.
