Linwood was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was one of the hardest working men we knew. He loved deer hunting and creating a beautiful garden full of beautiful flowers. Everyone who knew him loved him. He was a blessing to so many and will be greatly and dearly missed. He passed away in his home surrounded by his family after a brief but difficult battle with brain cancer. We will see him again in Heaven.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Amedisys Hospice, Cornerstone Funeral Home and especially Pam Sutton.
Cornerstone Funeral Home is honored to be caring for the Mitchell family and words of comfort may be shared at www.cornerstonefuneralhomeandcremations.com Cornerstone Funeral Home 1052 South First Street, Nashville, NC 27856.
