Not sure what to say?

Love you, Dad.

Its is almost a year now and I miss you more now than before. So much has happened and so many changes.I hope you have found the peace that you were searching for my dear brother. I love and miss you daily.

It has been over a year since my beloved Chris has passed, and soon, you too will be gone a year. Time does not make life any easier. I miss seeing you at Southtown, and just thank god for my little Chris.

We'll definitely miss your boyish charm and hardy laugh. Our youngest two children will have to hear the stories about you (Uncle "Big" or Papa Ted) that we hope they will cherish as much as we do. I wish they could have known you awhile longer. But our 'lil Teddy will always remember you.

It has been a few weeks now, but sometimes I just can't believe you are all gone. I know you are in a better place now with my cousins. For selfish reasons, I wish it was still 1975 and we just brought the chickens home from the egg farm.

My son Ted will carry on your name and make you proud.

Ted Mitchell, a great spirit, a wonderful soul...until we meet again friend.

Please accept my deepest sympathy in your time of sorrow. You will be in my prayers. God Bless

I knew both Chris and Ted when they were students at Evergreen Park High School. My name then was Noel Naisbitt. I remember well, not only these were fine young men, but also the devotion you and Mr. Mitchell felt toward your sons. I am very sorry that you have lost both boys and now their father. Please accept my sincere condolences on your many losses. May God bless you. Noel (Naisbitt) Brusman
