Paul, Adrienne and Karen, I was saddened to read of the passing of your sister and mother. She was a lovely person. I will always have memories of her visits to Petersburg to see her father and brother. Your uncle, grandparents and my parents were neighbors on Shepard Street (now West Wythe Street) in Petersburg, VA. Ruth Mitchell still lives in the house adjacent to your father's home. Earl Mitchell died earlier this year and all of my family is deceased and I sold the family house. I am sorry we lost touch with you all after Joe passed. I am still in Georgia. Please email when you have a chance.
