Mitchell Ross Gropper

Our baby is a senior this year...her college essays...all 3 of them was about you! I know you would have been proud!

I know this is really just for me...I don't write on this forum often. I think about you everyday. When something happens that's good or bad, I still wish you were here to share that with. I got a letter from one of Matticyns teachers and I cried...I so wanted to share it with you! After I read it, I believed more than ever that you are there with her...every step of the way. Love you still, just me

Hi Daddy! I love you❤

Mitch operated on me in 1997 shortly after he finished his fellowship and moved to Arizona. I had no knowledge of his death until someone asked me to recommend a spine surgeon to them. I looked up Mitch and found about about his untimely death.
I was the Associate Chairman of the Department of Surgery at that time and Mitch was the only spine surgeon I would let touch me!

Belated condolences.

I'm so sorry you're not here Mitchell. I am thinking of you often these days because the children are growing up. Life moves on in strange ways. Your life continues in your children and all the memories -- so many. I will never understand all of it. Rest in peace young man, rest in peace.

Mitchell: Thank you for calling me "Champ" and for fixing my back and no more pain!! You told me that this was the year that Father God would welcome you to Heaven. May He comfort you now.I will never forget you nor the true torah Jewish promise to all who cry I am blind and sick and poor in spirit,Oh help me Father God into your life!!!! May we say these things someday again in the City of the Great King Yeshua.

DEAR SON
YOU ARE SO VIVID IN MY HEART. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I HAVE A DREAM OF YOU WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE BOY, WITH NO CARES. HOW FUNNY YOU WERE, HOW YOU MADE DADDY AND I LAUGH ALL THE TIME. YOU TIED ANYTHING YOU COULD GET AHOLD OF TO TIE AROUND YOUR NECK AND FLY ALL OVER THE BEDS AND HOUSE. YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE A SUPER HERO. GUESS WHAT YOU WERE TO ME.
YOUR BABY WILL BE HERE IN A COUPLE WEEKS. I THINK I WILL SIT WITH HER AND THE PHOTO ALBUM SO SHE CAN SEE HOW CUTE, SMART, AND FUNNY HER...
