James Robert Mitchell

Jim and my Mom held two things in common: They both worked at American Family for many years. And, they often shared a table in the dining room at Heritage Monona. Small in stature, Jim had an appetite befitting a man twice his size. I'd never seen anyone clean a plate as well as him. I suspect that he learned as a child the importance of not wasting food, and he wasn't shy about asking for food that my Mom or another resident left behind. I'm glad that I got to know Jim, his wit and his appetite for life. Diane Brinson

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. My love to you all, Amber McGee When the rain is blowing in your face And the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love. When the evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one there to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love. Bob Dylan

We wish to offer our deepest condolences to the family of James R. Mitchell. Rita and I enjoyed attending both St. Dennis Catholic Church and Blessed Sacrament prayer meetings together. James and Rita were a prime example of the value of community and the vital importance of maintaining quality relationships with others.

Although I would never call him by his first name then, Jim always made me feel welcome in their home which I was at a lot during my high school years due to my friendship with Bob & Bill. In fact, Jim and Rita were always very gracious and welcoming of me. I recall feeling incredibly honored when at a high school event Jim referred to me publicly as an "honorary Mitchell." God bless him!

Robert and Cheryl and family - My sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one - a man with a rich and interesting life and, I'm sure, an inspiration to all
