Mrs.Mitchum & Family, We are saddened by the news of Gerald’s passing. One of many things I remember about Gerald was him helping my mother fix a rose flower bed at Black’s Camp many years ago. Gerald always conducted himself as a genuine Christian gentleman. The family and community has suffered a great loss but Heaven has a great gain. Our prayers and thoughts are about you all. God Bless.
Sorry for your loss may you find comfort in your family and friends
