To the Mitchell Family
Candy,
Think of your child, then, not as dead, but as living; not as a flower that has withered, but as one that is transplanted, and touched by a Divine hand, is blooming in richer colors and sweeter shades than those of earth.
DoHonna & Larry,
Brothers are such special people, to have had
one is a gift; They are so much of who we are,
and how we act and feel; What joy we have
from knowing we were a part of them.
The days ahead will be difficult without him, but we must use our faith to give us strength and hope. I pray that God will comfort you and keep you in His embrace.
