Joyce Mitchell, you have my sincere condolences for your loss. I loved and appreciated Logan so much.i know he will be missed but your memories will last a lifetime. Be blessed and grateful.
Dear Mitchell Family Members: I am Mervin O. McCoy from Norfolk, VA. After serving with the101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, KY, I moved to Memphis, TN and taught at Manassas High School from 1960 to1965. During my stay in Memphis, I met Brother Mitchell at our Fraternity meeting and we remained in contact each time I returned to visit in Memphis.
Pam and I were very saddened when we heard of his demise today. However, our family has always found PEACE and CLOSURE in Hebrews 11-16, KJV, where GOD has prepared for them a Brand New City in a Better Country. We are certain that your Faith will continue to Sustain you now and in the days and weeks to come.
Brother Mervin McCoy, Nu Delta Lambda Chapter Chesapeake, VA 23320
