To The Mitchell Family: I know that your love one will be missed. May you find comfort in knowing that he died in CHRIST. You all are in our prayers. Robert and Rosa Ellington.

When life has come to an end on this side, please know that it has begun on the other side. I share your bereavement for Bro. Richard Mitchell will be missed just as much as he was loved. Our church family will feel the lost and our church family will know that there will never be another Richard Mitchell. Know that the Lord will see you through, the Lord is able to see you through, and the Lord can see you through. I know it is going to be hard, but be assured that "Earth has no sorrow, that heaven cannot heal." I will keep you in my prayers even after the funeral is done. I will always remember the word of encouragement he gave me as his pastor. Even though I was young enough to be his son, he respected me as the MAN God has called me to be. Family know that your love one's death is felt by many. Be bless and keep looking up.

To Richard and Family:



I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories and faith sustain you during this difficult time.

"Cast Your Cares Upon The Lord For He Cares For You". Loosing a love one is hard, but our heavenly Father will see us through. Know our prayers are with you

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To the Mitchell Family:

Sometimes the hurt we feel is too big for words. We are searching our minds and souls to find the right things to say. We can not express to you the sadness we feel about your loss. Skip was a dear friend and brother to us for many years. And in those years, we can truly say that he was always a loving, considerate, and encouraging person. Not only to us, but to all that were blessed to encounter him. Time can only heal the sadness in the days that lie ahead, but in death we still rejoice. In the seeds of this life, we hope for a better life to come. May it comfort you to know that he is eternally at peace.

To the Mitchell Family we were sorry to hear about Dad.But we know that God will take care of You

Love Always Evang. Mary Jenkins and Family.

To the Mitchell Family. We are grieving with you. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. Bro. Skip was a wonderful person, always had a wise statement to make;an encouraging word to give. Please find solace in knowing that "the face you long to see, the hand you long to touch, the voice you long to hear is with the Lord." God promises that we will see our loved ones again, so I pray that you will be comforted by God's presence as you wait for that Great Reunion Day.

May God lift your hearts and spirits during this sorrowful time. Mr. Mitchell will truly be missed by all.

Deepest sympathy to all of you, God cares for you all. My pray is that God keep you all becuase we have lost so much when God call Skip home to be with him. We will never undstand why, but he took one of the best when he call him home.We love you all. We will miss you so much. We remember all the days in Sunday School, thats where it all started. May God be with you all.You will always live on with us.
