Mitch~
Nothing I write will ever be the same thanks to you. You reminded me to take my time, say what I mean and be sure I was understood. That made such a difference in relating to my children, you will never know. Thank you always for reminding me to slow down and live, not just rush through and get it done.
You were the greatest friend I never met.

Mitch - you are greatly missed. I will always think of your reason, for staying South, "it is white, it comes in winter" whenever it snows.
Hope you are "static" free in your eternal rest.

Mitch was our loveable curmugeon and he will be missed. I'll never forget the brouhaha he started with his post on whether nurses were overpaid or the carrot threads - especially the carrot threads, lol. He also helped me to understand Asperger's from the inside out, which helped me to understand my own dd's struggles. Peace be yours, Mitch - no more medical problems, and no more carrots. Take care, my friend.
Bridget, Pat and family, my sincere condolences to you all.
