Mike Mitten's wife passes
« on: March 15, 2009, 12:30:00 PM »
I'm sorry to be the one to report that our brother Mike Mitten's wife Paula lost her battle with cancer this morning. She was at home with friends and family. Email messages can be sent here on this site or directly to Mike at [email protected] Cards, flowers, etc. can be directed to him at 11184 Wadsworth Road, Beach Park, IL 60099
Mike is a quiet and modest man and doesn't know I'm making this announcement but I'm sure he would appreciate your thoughts, prayers and condolences. Mike does have insurance but his medical bills will still be substantial. If any of you are thinking about buying Mike's recent book "One With The Wilderness", that he dedicated to Paula, now would be a good time to order it. They can be ordered from our brothersofthebow website or directly through Mike via email or postal mail at the above address. I would also like to especially thank each of you bowhunters here on Tradgang for your support and prayers extended to both Mike and Paula. God bless each of you and every member of your families.

I'm very sorry to hear that, my son and I met Mike along with you and Barry a couple of years ago at Denton Hill. You all seemed like real nice guys. We'll have the Mitten family in our thoughts and prayers. Rob

My deepest condolences to Mike for the loss of his bride and for all of the family members.

May memories of her be cherished by all those blessed by her presence.

Knowing that she is  now in the arms of our Lord may we all be filled with joy and look forward to our time of rendezvous with Him.

Amen.

God bless, David Camp

My Prayers go out to Mike.  Words can not describe what I am feeling.  I bought one of Mikes books last night at the WI Trad Archers Banquet.  I asked someone where Mike was and they said is wife was ill.  I did not know how serious it was.

I think we can do something here to help Mike out.  Is there some way that we can hold a auction of sorts.  I will gladly donate something for this.

I haven't met any of you ppl in person, but this is what is so special about this forum. It is like the musketeers of old. All for one and one for all.

I am sorry to hear about his wife Paula.

I can donate something too if it will help. I have a brand new Kanata bow quiver I would put into the auction.

Just some recent statisics and this is not to be rude it's just to be aware of. I have an aunt and uncle that were battling it...my uncle lost and my aunt lost a breast and isn't out of the woods yet either.

American cancer society has just announces that they predict that by 2010 - 2011 1 in 2 ppl will be diagnosed with cancer.

Cancer numbers from the past:

Source: American Cancer Society
  1960:  1 in 300
  1990:  1 in 75
  2006:  1 in 3
                     
They all tend to agree it's from our lifestyle now. Too fast paced, not enough nutrition in our diets, to much stress, too much pollution, lack of sleep, less exercise etc.

Only 17% of American eat 2 or more servings of fruit a day and the recommended daily doesage has risen from 3-5 when I was young to 7-9 now.

Anyway I care about ppl and I think most of us really don't watch what we eat enough and get daily exercise. I hope you look at the info and do something about it FOR yourself ok.
