Reflections for Police Officer Edward E. Mitchell
Hey Dad.It's been 28 years since Mom and I lost you, yet it seems like it was just yesterday. There's not a day that goes by that we don't think about you. I find myself picturing what you would look like now and just seeing you and Mom living your lives together. I have a loving wife, and you and Mom have two beautiful grandkids. My son is 19 and my daughter is 7. They know all about you. Wish you were here to see them, but I know you are up in heaven keeping watch on all of us. Miss you,love you and we'll talk again real soon. Can't forget, won't forget. Your Son, Edward,Jr.

I was working that shift in a adjourning sector. Eddy was a brave cop. He always had a friendly smile. I don't think there was a mean bone in his body. We traveled to Eddy's home town in Virginia to bury him. Fifty friends on a rented bus.
We miss you Eddy.
