Robert John Mitchell

Colin Mitchell and I were childhood friends growing up on Woodhaven Street in Riverside, CA. I remember Bob and Lilly being the nicest parents on the block, and of course, Nanny (Bob’s mother) who lived with them. I loved it on occasion when they invited me over for dinner when Nanny’s Irish stew was being served. I married young, moving away from Riverside and lost touch with the Mitchell family many years ago. Curious as to where the family was now, I googled their name and came across...

I miss you and Aunt Lil everyday and all tyhe good times we had in Riverside. I remember crushing cans in the garage, fishing with chewing gum at a pond, craw dad fishing, the monkey hanging from the telephone pole in the back yard, wheel barrow rides, the mocking bird, and so much more. I miss you guys and wish I had been older before you passed. Good to know you Aunt Lil, Uncle Conner, and Uncle Colin are all watching over me though. I'm proud to have Conner's name as my own, and honestly I...

You and Lily were the greatest addition to the Nelson family. Thank you for all the memories. I know it was difficult for you to attend Dad's services but it meant so much to us. I just didn't know it would be that soon that you both would be "up there" betting on the Derby and the Preakness! You now have your wish: health, sight and your whole loving family surrounding you. God Bless you all.

Bob, God Bless you, you will missed so much, you blessed many lives with your kindness. Give my love to Lilly, Colin and Conner my friend.
