I am in Shock over the passing of Mr. Mitchell. He was a regular customer of mine at the Shell Station in Petersburg. My Thoughts and Prayers are with the Family during this difficult time.
God gained another Angel today. What great memories I have of all of us on Mitchell Mt. As I called it when I was younger. Praying for all of you. Wish I could be there. You will be in my heart.
I can’t believe you are gone. I love you so much and I’m glad you had momma and daddy to help you since Mary Ann died. I wish I was there to say good bye. I love you Uncle Toe Toe.
