My heart was saddened when I learned of Aunt Eva’s passing, but it is comforting to know that she has been reunited in heaven with those who have gone on before her. For some unknown reason, Aunt Eva had been on my mind a lot for days prior to her passing. She was such a wonderful aunt and an inspiration to all who knew her. I recall such wonderful times visiting with her over the years when she came to Mansfield or at our family reunions. If I wanted to know something about the Mitchell family history, Aunt Eva could always tell me. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. You have my deepest sympathy.
God Bless,
Charles
