I found this note from Mitch’s<\/a> family:<\/p>\n

Tracy and I are doing alright…….in light of the road we now travel. Meredith is off the chart good…….which is no surprise. It is nice to be able to breathe and grieve, but it really doesn’t matter how busy you keep yourself………..reality comes crashing in about every other minute.
\nSome of those minutes are dry…….most aren’t……..and I just miss my son……….terribly.
\nSleep doesn’t come easy……..but neither do waking hours.
\nPutting up laundry and finding clothes that will always be “misplaced” now……….a closed bedroom door………..any number of captivating portraits courtesy of Lisa Doss in which his eyes pierce my heart.
\nThe simple fact is that my best friend on this Earth is gone and it hurts.
\nThis too shall pass………and His Grace is sufficient. Keep lifting us up.
