Mitchell Alexander Winey

West Point, 2018

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bill Martin - 2016 parent on June 5, 2016:

It is impossible for me to comprehend your loss and I am not a religious parent so I'll refrain from a belief that might promise one thing or another on behalf of a supreme being. Still, I believe that every part of Mitchell has been, and always will be, on this planet and in this universe we call home. Not terribly many years ago, neither you nor I knew what he would look like nor did we know how great a young man he would become. I'm sure many came to know him well and appreciated his potential so much so that they believed he would become a great cadet at West Point. Still, sooner or later, we go back to this earth. We don't disappear. Mitchell won't either. Your loss is painful, I know. My hope is that my words could make it less so, that I might, in some small way, share your grief.
