In the early 1970s, when our son Angelo was in Charity Hospital with a brain tumor, Rev. Mixon was so helpful to us. Carl, you worked with our daughter Carole at State Farm and you told your dad about Angelo. Rev. Mixon was a tremendous help to us and we will always remember him kindly. He will remain in our hearts forever. You will be happy to know that Angelo survived his brain tumor and lives in Houma with his wife and two of his three children. We are sorry for your loss. Be assured that your Dad left a beautiful legacy and will be remembered fondly.
