My dearest Peter, 45 years ago today, you went to work and that was the end. I still have a hard time believing it. I had to say something to you today when my life change so drastically. I love you and think of you all the time. I’m in same house and every time I look out back I see your smiling face. Always yours

I can't believe it's 45 years, Brother. May you continue to rest in eternal peace. I will never forget your guidance in the right direction when I was growing up in the Heights, or your laughter at some of the dumb things I said as a teen. Because of what you taught me, I made sure I never tarnished my shield.

I woke up this morning not wanting to return to work in the middle of this pandemic, however thanking God for the opportunity to see another day is a blessing within itself. Then, I’m reminded of the day we lost you. Even though your time on earth was cut short, the impact you made will live on forever.

Rest Easy Peter!!!
Forever My Hero!

I received a phone call on the 13th informing me of a blackout in New York. It brought back some many memories of your death. 24 hrs. after the blackout in 1977, we lost you. I remember the moment I watch television to see your lifeless body being wheeled into the hospital. I cried then and still cry today. You played a major role in my life and I am forever proud you call you family. Rest easy Peter.

Sorrowful submitted,
Cousin Cynthia

Hi, Mr. Mitchell. This is Hubert, Eddie’s friend from Corsa Avenue. I was thirteen when you were taken from Eddie, Mrs Mitchell and us. My folks were breaking up and I was going through a hard time. I remember that you would always stop your motorcycle when you were passing our house and talk to me. It’s almost as if you knew that I was going through a difficult time. It meant a lot to me that you took the time to talk to me. I never got a chance to say thank you. I want to thank you today. I think of you every year when this day comes around. I looked up to you then, and I look up to you now. I hope that you and Eddie are happy together again.
Love,
Hubert

To the Mitchell family, my deepest condolences, after 39 years life won't let you forget. My name is Jeffrey Miller, we have never met, we don't know each other however we are linked forever. On July 15 1977 about 2pm in the afternoon I was driving on Fordham Rd near the Major Degan and was mistakenly picked up for the shooting of your father and husband. It took me many years to understand the depth of your pain and loss. That Friday changed your lives forever. I found this site and have read every message from Mae and Ed Jr. for many years in silence, I feel it's time to let you know I pray for your family often, and believe, because of the brave and heroic acts of Officer Mitchell, I would be humbled to meet you, so we can tell our stories.
May God bless you.
Respectfully Jeffrey Miller
