I'm very sorry to hear of Mrs. Mitchum's passing. It was a pleasure serving her and Mr. Mitchum for 13 years when issues arose at their Ashley House property. She was very appreciative and always had kind words for me during our many conversations. She could count on me to open the heavy doors for her when arriving back at the Ashley House and getting fast service on her apartment work orders. She was a wonderful lady. God bless Mrs. Mitchum.

Thad and Family, so sorry to hear of Sylvia's passing. Thoughts and Prayers to You All. Sylvia was One Of A Kind. Always liked seeing her at the Heritage Golf Tournament years ago. Always a Smile for Everyone.

Prayers,
Steve Cooper
