A tearful Nicoele Mitchell told 11 Alive that she’s holding onto the memory of her husband’s last words to her family before his violent death. “I’m glad that that morning before he left off to work – we got to say [I love you] to each other. … So that will forever be in my brain – his kiss and ‘I love you,'” she said.
