Rossie, Joe and I love you and Billy! May God be with you always, girl!
Joe and Sharon Chafin

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Rossie,

Nancy and I were sorry to learn about Billy's passing. He was a long time friend from our days together at PPC. His leadership at our church will be long remembered by those who served with him on the Session. I recall his stories about dove shooting in Mexico and how much he enjoyed those trips. I think he enjoyed talking about the trips as much as the trip itself.

May God continue bless and care for you and your family.

Rossie, I was out of town when I received the news of Billy's death. As you know Billy was one of my very favorite friends and one that helped me early in my career. Billy was a man that always brought a smile to me when we would see each other. I enjoyed each and other time I would see the two of you. Billy and I would always reminisce of the days past with some laughter and seriousness at the same time. May god be with you as this is a real loss to you and to us all. I will miss Billy and...

Billy, Captain CHS 1951

To the Mitchell family, my heart goes out to you in your sorrow. Billy was the first friend I knew growing up in Cairo, we lived only a block away and had some great times together. The streets were unpaved at that time, the 30's and 40's and the dirt street in front of his house we called "pig-tale alley" for some reason and we had a lot of pick up football games there, I think of those times often not really delving in the past but remembering the good times growing up with good people, and...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Rossie,
My prayers are with you and family at this very difficult time but I know Billy is at peace in Gods hands. Billy and I grew up together in Cairo.

To the Mitchell Family:

In this difficult time in your lives, may you find comfort in God's word, the Bible. James 4:8 encourages; "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you".

My condolences,
SJB.
