Tony, Alva and Misty,
Words almost fail me at this time. Mitch was a wonderful man and a true friend; I never ran into him that I didn't get to see that dazzling smile of his, get a big bear hug and hear him tell me he loved me. When I heard the news Saturday evening, I was devestated. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers, and if there is anything that I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. I love all of you dearly.
