Me and my husband went to see how papa was doing. And we found out he had passed on. I was stunned, but I know he is in a better place. No more suffering or pain. But joy and peace with the heavenly father who papa loved dearly. Mother may Gods peace and comfort be upon you and the family until you meet him in heaven. George and Loretta Mcfarland

I called last night to wish Papa Mitchell a Happy Birthday and found out he was gone. My heart goes out to Mama Mitchell and the rest of his family. Papa, Mama & Dorothy taught me so much about the word of God. He is sadly missed but what he gave to many is still with us. Much love to his family.

I wrote this for you Mayo Man..Why'd you have to go so soon?
It seems like yesterday we were hanging
Round the hood
Now I'm gonna keep your memory alive
Like a homie should
A lifetime of memories
Going down the drain
I'd like to keep stepping
But I can't get past the pain
I tip my 40 to your memory
Take a drink and I start to think and I
I know one day soon we'll be
We'll be hanging out
