Reflections for Police Officer Larry Brian Mitchell

Hey Brother, it's me again!!! Thinking of you and wanted to tell you that I Miss You and Love You! Hey, remember when you wanted to be a body man?!?!?! Just remembering a bunch of crazy dreams you once had. I am glad that you got to fulfill some of them. I wish it could have been all of them. And, yes Erika, Brian did love you with all of his heart! Thanks for making him happy!

I have thought about you ALL day and then I found this site that I never knew existed. I Love You and Miss You! I had the same feeling about you today that I did the day you died. I think of you always and I SMILE, except for today I'm crying and I just want to talk to you. I miss you so very much and there are so many things I want to tell you and I know that you already know so...

I will always remeber how kind he was to me. I was just starting my career as a patrol officer and Larry was what I wanted to be. He will always be missed by me because of his kindness.

"God encourages you and his love comforts you. God's spirit unites you and you are concerned for others. Now make me completely happy. Live in harmony by showing love for each other. Be united in what you think, as if you were only one person. Don't be jealous or proud but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. Care about them as much as you care about yourselves and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought. Just as Christ gave up everything when be became one of us. Christ was humble and obeyed and died on the cross. God gave him the highest place and honored his name above all others." (Philippians)

What can I say Larry, but it's kind of like the same humility you had. You cared about others and gave your life doing what you loved. Today marks the sixth year you've been gone but your memory lives on daily.

Brian, Jess, Mikey, Matt, Richard, Bobby and Ron, you are all thought of in prayer and not forgotten either. Wherever you may be, you are remembered thru prayers and to those who serve and protect.

To the Mitchell family, God be with you all. May He continue to give you all strength each day.

God bless,
Jenelle (Former GPD)

Well here we are six years later.... What and incredible journey this has been. I never would have imagined things turning out the way they have for me but I don't guess anyone ever thinks something like this can ever happen to them it always happens to someone else.
As you know some days are better than others but I would be a selfish fool if I didnt fell lucky to have the many things that you left me... Dylan is my blessing and my saving grace. I hope that I can be the parent that he needs me to be.. he is a truly special little man and I know he is destined for great things.... he has your beautiful spirit and my stuborn headedness....

Love you with all my heart, soul, body, mind and money....

keep your angel wings over us and keep us safe..

Officer Mitchell,
Yesterday the Gallup Police Department held a memorial in honor of all fallen officers in McKinley County. The torch is passed on. We do not forget. A whole new administration and lots of young new officers now. A few of us oldies still here. Your best bud, Sgt. Boyd, Sgt. Wright, Jenelle Yazzie, Devonne Lasiloo, Yvonne Notah, Detective Harold Littlefield, Lieutenant Miranda Littlefield. Wednesday, May 30th will be six years and our hearts still hurting. Only our faith in God keeps us going. We miss you and love you. We are all praying for your wife, son, mother, father, brother and sister and the brothers and sisters on the force.

Miss you so much. Still can't believe it's been 6 years. You are thought about everyday. Erica has done a tremendous job. We continue to keep her and Dylan in prayer and of course, your family also. Keep watch over your fellow officers.

Missing you, a Friend

ASCENSION

And if I go,
While you’re still here---
Know that I live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
--behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
So you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
--both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
…I will be there.

...Larry...(thanks for the pep talk)...my biggest fear still though is that i let u down...(please tell me it ain't so)...Erica, I never told ya but i was in the field on patrol a time that seems forever ago ..i needed a note pad...Larry being Larry, would give u the shirt off his back...offered his (he said he had another)...about 3 calls later...i flipped the notebook page and there was a note...from you to him...that was the night he gave me a wallet pic of his wonderfull family...just cause we were pals...and the time a begged him to come to McGaffie lake to hang out with the "crew" to do the beer/cop thing with all the pals...he said nope, my wife needs me more this weekend...I understood, enough said...I'm not "here" much but I miss him more every day it seems...p/s...I got ur cd ready but I lost ur e-mail...(i didn't forget)...and give Dylan a firm handshake and a firmer hug for me...

Hey, I sure hope its a lot warmer there, cause I am freezing here I am so not used to the snow any more...... anyway its only for a while then hopefully this phase will be over and the new year will bring great things for us.. everything will be fresh and new so we do feel that the good Lord is blessing us in so many ways. I just always hope that what takes place is with your stamp of approval. I like to think it is since we get som hints.. or at least I trick myself into thinking they are....Well X-mas is just about here and another year if you can believe it..


Love you and miss you lots...

I was just sitting here thinking about the whole gang. What would it have been like had you guys been still together. Think the drug problem would have died down! You sure were on the tail of some top "ones". That's what made you guys fearful. We know you're with us in spirit but how we miss you on the streets. It's definitely not the same with some of you boys and "men" of course. You made a big difference. Seeing some of the old faces still around makes me wonder what it would be like nowadays with you all still here, what a fearsome department it would have been. Help me to tell them to hang in there. They've got what it takes to keep going stronger and to get better. They are the few, the proud, men and women of GPD. I wish they knew that that they are very helpful and supportive because of their expertise even though things aren't at their best now. I hope they feel the excitement and adreneline you had when you put on that uniform. I just wanted to thank you again for helping this community. Things could have been worse but because of your heroic actions (making the decision to help even though you were sick that day) and (choosing to enter the trailer with your brothers), you saved lives that day. It could have been anybody, other officers, but God chose you that day. He saw in you, bravery and confidence and boldness because you were a hero and will always be a hero. WE MISS YOU!

Hi there,

We get the message I know you have been hanging around a lot lately and we appreciate it.... We love our new addition to the family he is the most adorable baby ever even if he was the runt of the litter I have a feeling he is going to be great and Lexi already loves him.

Dylans party went great he loved all the things he got and everyone loved the new house.. Can you believe he is now 8 going on 28... wish you could have been, remember the time you were playing his guitar on his 1st b-day and I caught you on video it was so funny I still laugh when I see it...
I could go on about all the things that made me laugh but I keep those memories in my heart and mind everyday

Love you with all my heart soul body mind and money Baby...

Officer Mitchell,

Another birthday for you and Dylan. Some of the "old" gang here sent a birthday card and certificate to Dylan for his birthday. Wow, 7 years old. I pray God's blessings continue on Dylan and Erica. You are not forgotten.

You are a true hero and will never be forgotten by those who love you nor will the Blue Family ever let that happen. Keep watch over your loved ones and protect them. Also, keep watch over those still out on patrol guarding the Thin Blue Line.

I know it's a couple days early, but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I've been quite busy with my new job and probably won't get the chance on your actual birthday so I thought I'd send birthday wishes early. As always, look for that "special birthday tribute." I hadn't been to this site for some time now but you are always in my thoughts. I will remember you always. Miss you alot. My prayers go out to your family as they are in my thoughts as well.
