I'm gone miss you DAD .... not day will go by that you not on our mind ... see again !!!!
I can't believe you're gone!! Mitch and Mona have been apart of my life for 16 almost 17yrs now. Mitch was the Dad I always needed in life growing up and Grandpa to my boys. It breaks my heart he's gone. I'm thankful for all the years, the advice he gave me, he'd let me know when I needed to tighten up tooπ Mitch was a great man. He loved my boys and would spend time with them. Mitch and Mona have been a blessing in my life. They watched me grow up and have been here for the good, the bad, didn't matter if I was mad, sad or whatever, they would always guide me in the right direction. I love y'all to pieces and I hate you're gone. You can hang out with everyone who left us too soon. Ik they lit in heaven. There's no goodbyes only see you later. We love you Papa Mitch we'll see you again one day!!β€οΈ
