Dear family, this is Kammy a good friend of Larry Joe's I had met Mitchell on a beautiful day becouse of him... A soft, tender being had a lil tiny but fragile pinky ring that meant alot to him and had no stone but saw how much pride I endoured in my daughter of 3yrs.old... and Mitch went on ahead and ordered her birth stone to place in it knowing that it meant a great deal to him, it also meant a great deal to my baby and I and will be in our lives forever!!!! Know that the short time I had known him, was an inspiration of true meaning that his moral's shinned through...To me it hold's the value of what I will alway's miss about him most!!!

Dear Eichman Family, I want to say how very sorry I was to hear of Mitch's passing, he was a very funny, unique and talented man. I know he fought at tough battle, but always with a smile on his face!! Rhonda Hart (used to work at Ackley's Rocks and Stamps) one of Mitch's favorite places....

So many of the best memories of my childhood included my cousin Mitch. Fishing at the reservoirs, buying candy at the Glen, sledding the hill in the winter and dove hunting in Eckley just to name a few. These were fanntatic times that will never be forgotten. Thank you for these memories Mitch.

To Ginger and Helen. My prayers are with you and if you ever want to just get away, I would love to have come visit in North Carolina. All my love to you both.
