"The hardest thing for me is that this was the happiest any of us had ever been," says Woodard. On the morning of the shooting, Mitch had sat at her circular kitchen table, slumped in her spindle-back chair, chuckling with his stepfather over how an old woman grabbed his ear during a visit by his church group to a local nursing home.
