To the Mix family - all of you. Words can not express how sorry I am to hear of Mitch's passing. From the time we first met - in the 6th grade - I could not have found a better, more loyal and trustful friend. We grew up togeather, graduated from school togeather, stood in each other weddings, shared the birth of our children and had so many other beautful memories.
I hope he knew how many lives he touched and influenced for the good in so many ways. He will be missed.

My heart is so heavy for Bunny, Mike's precious girls, his stepchildren, grandchildren, and everyone who loves this GREAT man. He LOVED all of you so very much! I used to put pics of those grandbabies in a frame for him on his desk each time that he received a new one. He was so very proud of them! I worked with Mike for many many years, and he was family to me. He was my buddy, a great person with BIG heart, and the BEST man you'll ever meet! He will FOREVER be missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with him and all of you forever! Love, Cindy Blanchard (Mike's Lottery Buddy)
