Happier trails, Mitch.
You were like a brother.
So many songs, so many long talks.
So much love and laughter over all these years since you were born that night in N. Dakota.
Take a sad song and make it better.
I will miss you.
Your cousin,
Carmen

Oh my Dear Mitch...you will be missed... We had fun... Got in trouble as teenagers and beyond. First time we met was when we were 14 and you played your guitar at my mom's house (we were told to keep it down) hmmm... Fond young memories... when life was so carefree and tomorrow was anticipated and yet a mystery. You were an ear and confidant and visa versa during the last few decades. Until the Universe brings together again... Terri Petty Graham
