Dear Aunt Doris,
We are thinking of you and Bob's girls/family during this most difficult of times. We really enjoyed getting to know Bob . He was a special addition
at family gatherings in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. His sweet spirit and beautiful smile will be missed by us all. We love you, Kate and Summer

Dear Doris, you have been in my thoughts daily since a heard about 2 weeks ago about Bobby's status. Emil and I regret that we could not attend the service today because Emil is out of town and the drive was a bit too much for me. As I think you know, I am 5 months older than Bobby, and we really had some good times together in our earlier years. I always admired him for his sharp brain, his wit, his love of life, and his wonderful smile! I am so glad that you both had done yearso together, for he loved you very much...just as he did his daughters, and entire family. We extend our love to you, Doris.

My deepest sorrow to the Mitchell family for your loss. Bob was an outstanding husband, father, citizen and friend - intelligent, generous and kind. We shared the habit of rescuing cats. I am sure he is petting cats in heaven right now...
