Mr. & Mrs. Mitchell have been my neighbors since 1974. I will always remember when my horse would get loose during the night and Mrs. Mitchell calling me to come get him away from her goats. And then come back in and fill in the hoof prints in her yard so she could mow. I have many, many wonderful memories growing up with the Mitchell's next door. They helped me understand who Jesus was and helped me get a better footing in my faith. I will miss them both. I am glad that they are both together.
Robin & Amy, I love you dearly. I am so sorry I am unable to be there. Just know that if you need anything, I am here for you. Love, Kathryn

I first met Bob and Jean in 1992 when Bob and I began to work together at AMSEC. We kept in touch until a few years ago. I was truly saddened to hear of their passing, but am glad they are together with Jesus. My sincerest condolences to the family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Such a shocking time to lose both parents so quickly. Our prayers are with you. Jean and I were in BSF class together 3 years ago in the afternoon class at Menchville.
Prayers.

There must be a reason God took this couple so sudden. My prayers are lifted up to the family and friends. My prayer is that you can find peace as I am sure this is very hard to take and accept. God be with you.
