Rolla Wayne Mitchell

Aunt Ruth,
I will always remember Rolla as a special "cousin" who welcomed me into his life for a period of time. I do not remember a time when Rolla did not have an infectious smile on his face or a laugh that would make me laugh. He was one of the most positive, upbeat and caring people to have touched my life in a special way while I lived in Vancouver. We continue to keep you, Shirley and the rest of the family in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Beckie and Chris...

About the time Rolla was 12 or 13 years old, and I was a young boy of 8 or 9,we did many things together. He gave me so much of his time, in my eyes becoming my big brother.

We used to ride our bikes across town to play with his dog "licorice"(a big deal for both of us because I was only 10 and we knew if my...

Rolla Wayne Mitchell...you were the best cousin in the world. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with you. You were the sweetest, most easy going person around. Although we had not seen one another over the past few years,its those early memories of being kids together that has kept you close in my heart.
Shirley, Aunt Ruth, and family: my thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort knowing how much Rolla meant to so many people.
Love, Carole (Carol Jean)

I have many memories with Rolla. He was an amazing person and I don't even know where to start with all of the memories I have of him while I was practicing or playing soccer games at kiggins. I have known him for over seven years and saw him about twice a week while having soccer practice. When I was a freshman at Skyview we started talking and getting to know eachother and since the first day I met him we became friends. During my junior year I hurt my ankle really bad and he got in his...
