Kathie Jacobs also remembers Alex. I work with her at a church where she directs the choir and I play the organ.
Kathie was the music teacher at St. Mary's School and she spoke very highly of Alex.

To the Mitchell family members ~
Please accept my sympathy for your loss. I remember Alex from first grade when he would board my school bus for St. Mary's each morning, getting on at South Lincoln Avenue in Elberon.
May God watch over you during this difficult time - He will get you through as He always does.
