To all of you Mitchell's,
Craig and I will miss Maxine's beautiful smile and hugs. She was one of a kind and a very special lady. She always felt like family to us!!! :) I can remember her at my bridal shower years ago and around town. I also remember her at the New Virginia functions. I have known her all my life. She will be greatly missed. I will send my flowers-aka money to the church for her memoral. Love you.
