Just wanted to say I bought Mitchell's book - A book in time, rhyme by rhyme from Amazon. While I was reading it I could feel how proud he was. It is truly an amazing book. The poems are on another level!! So simple yet so deep. To think he was only 7 years old when he wrote all these. The physical world lost a precious one of a kind soul, but his book is a genuine gift to all who reads and treasures it.

When I first met Mitchell, (& Drew too!) It was love at first sight. Within the first hour, I became his wife (and Russian princess) and he became my future husband (gay and all)! Drew approved and we became super close. We had many adventures together, some crazy, some fun, some scary and some that didn't make sense while others did, but the outcomes were always the best times of my life. I learned so much about life and myself because of Mitchell. He taught me things I never knew existed whether I wanted them to or not because that was Mitchell, always brutally honest, extremely intelligent, and the most beautiful human I've ever known. We used to sing in the car and change every word that rhymed with Drew to his name. So the words you, too, who and so on, would be replaced with Drew. It was the funnest thing. Of course, we also listened to the "intruder song" in every genre available for a whole year straight. We dudnt change that CD in the car once. Mitchell absolutely loved it, and honestly youtube it if you want to laiugh until you cant breathe! Drew was such a good sport and he was also an amazing person. He loved Mitchell so much hed come sit at my house for hours just letting mitchell and i do our thing and play catch up and dress up and dance and sing! Mitchell was always trying to give me things and presents , he was so extremely generous and he wanted me to have his prized Louis Vuitton blanket (scarf) that had been everywhere with him, even Montreal. I told him no way im not taking it because it was his favorite thing as tattered as it was getting. He would not take no for an answer so i said ok, how about i just hang onto it for you and when youre ready to have it back it will be here waiting? He agreed and the last time i saw him he told me to keep it longer. Now im entrusted with it forever but it will still always be here for you Mitchell. Mitchell made a huge impact in my life and I will forever keep him alive in my heart and memories. I could go on forever .I hope you're singing so many songs to Drewberry, the honeydrew melon. I have some great pics of the two and three of us but I'm not sure how to post them. Love you Mitchell the Bitchell, thank you for being a part of my life and sharing your bright soul with me. <3

My condolences to Frank, Linda and all the Marasco family. I met Mitchell on our street a number of times he was a cheerful guy so sorry to here this news may god bless him.

I got to know Mitch back in the early 2000s. He lived in Montreal then. He was a very outgoing, friendly person. I will always remember him for his charming smile. He was a wonderful person. He sure will be missed both from our mutual friends, and myself. From Vermont, your friend Dean. <3

My memories of Mitchell are of when he was in elementary school - where I was privileged to teach him. He was a dynamic, intelligent and creative person with a serious and contemplative side. My sincere condolences to Mitchell’s family and friends who mourn this loss.

To the Marasco Family: I met Mitchell when we were both attending Simon Fraser Junior High in Calgary Alberta. As a person who was an easy target for bullies, Michell was always a kind/bright spot in my day. I wish Mitchell's family members nothing but kind thoughts, as you begin to process your grief.

Frank, Linda and all the Marasco family. We were devastated to hear of Mitchell's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
