Add A Condolence

To: Uncle Pressley aka Tonia Mitchum From: Mr. Hale, Nephew How could I totally express how sorry I am to know the passing of someone so dear to our family he was a spiritual church going man with a quiet spirit, and precious gem of our family was my Uncle Pressley Mitchum aka Tonia or Preston. I know it will never be easy for his wife, all of his kids, siblings, and the rest of the family and friends of Tonia to bear the pain. We all feel the same pain at this time, but time will heal our pain in our body, mind, and soul in the future. My prayers are with all of you to get through this hard time. And as we all overcome this grief, I know we all will get stronger. Condolences from Dean Hale’s family his nephew and his sister Lula-Strong-Goodman. 9/20/2017
