Mitchel loved family and dearly enjoyed time spent with them. He was able to make friends easily with any kind of animal. His gentle heart made it possible to forgive anyone. Mitchel was very knowledgeable about the Bible, reading it several times, front to back. He had amazing talent and was able to teach himself many hobbies, such as playing the piano and guitar, singing, and crocheting blankets and scarfs. His manicured lawn, along with his vegetable and flower gardens, was a great source of pride to him. Also, his penmanship was always very neat and uniform.
