To the Mitchell Family,
I was so sorry to read about George’s and Andrew’s passing.  I only found out about Andrew when I saw George’s picture in the paper.  I remember growing up on W. Vine St., and your family lived across the street from us.  I know, as kids, we played together at times.  Many prayers go out to the entire family.
