January 21, 2009
"Mitch's death has been the most devastating blow to all of us. We miss him so much, and of course life will never be the same without him. The only comfort to us has been the wonderful warmth and love from friends, and all the fans who took the time to contact Experience Hendrix and express their feelings. We thank all of you. Mitch would have been so touched.We were asked some time ago to put down the names of charities Mitch supported for people who felt they wanted to send flowers or do something in his name. So I have listed two below, one a local lifeboat station and the other a very good animal charity. People can have a look at their websites to see if they too, would like to support them.
Although both charities can use support, we feel it is important to add from our point of view, your kind thoughts, a kind action done with Mitch in mind or a little prayer is every bit as valuable to us.
Thank you all -
The Mitchell Family."
