    Dear Garland, Children, all Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren and all Family and Friends, we are praying for you all. Arnetta touched so many lives. There are not enough words to express how much she is loved. She is no longer suffering but is with Jesus, walking on Streets of Gold, and in a New, Perfect body. Arnetta always had such a warm smile and loved everyone. She was always concerned with other people. Arnetta was an exemplary wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, niece, cousin and friend and a wonderful pianist and singer. There are not enough words to convey how much my family and I loved her. She always had a positive outlook on life. She missed being able to go to church, to go to family events, and other aspects of life. Arnetta was a very giving and living individual. I am so thankful to have had her in my life. May God provide your each and every need including grace, peace, comfort, love and discernment. I cherish all if the memories and times spent with her. Arnetta was a delight to spend time with just talking and sharing. She was such a gracious Southern Lady. If there is someone, either a Friend or Family Member, who is not saved, may this be the time that someone will repent of their sins and accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Remember the special times shared with Arnetta. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

    Love and prayers,
    Tonya Sabrina Mitchell and Brian Lee Pace
    (Daughter of the Late Rev. George J. Mitchell and Ruth Ellen Bates Mitchell)
