To the Mitchell family,
I met Ray over 20 years ago when I started working with his mother at Virginia State University. Ray was such a humble and respectable young man. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Please cherish the memories and keep them alive.

To Tia and the extended Mitchell Family:
It is a rare experience to reflect upon years of challenges and not be able to identify a single negative interaction with a man. We'll miss a laugh that never lost it's child-like joy. God loves you, and so do we. Goodbye and see you soon Brother RayRay.

I am at a loss for words. Raymond was one of the funniest, sincerest, sweetest people I have ever met. From high school to college, Raymond remained the same person; always speaking when we saw each on the yard, giving a hug, a smile. I don't understand why Raymond was taken from us so soon, we all may never understand, but one thing is certain; God certainly has one of the best angels on his team now. Enjoy paradise now Raymond! My sincerest condolences to his wife, Tia, his son and his...
