Reflections for Corporal Dana Kevin Cusack

Tomorrow will be 2 years since you left this Earth. I miss you more than my words could even begin to explain. I'd do anything to have you back here, with me. But I know you're in a better place without any pain. I miss you Daddy. <3

Kevin, you are missed everyday my friend and your collision sight will have a new look tomorrow. I have to go by there every week and say a few words that I know you hear. Your flag flies high brother, and so does your memory! Cant wait to meet you again one day and share some more laughs. Miss you and Love you Brother!!!

On behalf of our mother, my sisters, my brother and other Cusack family members...Please know that we deeply appreciate all of the messages, postings and many other deeds of kindness and support offered over the past year. Kevin made friends wherever he went, and it has been a blessing to us for you to share some of your thoughts and experiences with us through this site. Kevin read these postings and would forward messages to me to remember different officers and their families too. We have also seen the love and special relationships he shared with many of his fellow officers and other co-workers through postings here, and those relationships will always mean a lot to us too. Though we still do not understand God's ways, we are comforted by knowing He is still in control, and in Eternity - there will be no more parting. We will keep looking up, and strive to fulfill God's purpose for our lives as we feel Kevin did his best to fulfill his. God bless and keep you all. Romans 12:2

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Corporal Cusack. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Kevin, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Kevin's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Kevin's life was about so much more than the way he died. Kevin will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Corporal Cusack, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been seven years and a half years but he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

To the family and friends of Corporal Kevin Cusack and his fellow patrolmen:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Kevin tragically died.

To Corporal Cusack's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Kevin gave to his community and the citizens of South Carolina, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 27, 2010.

My Dearest Family and Friends

Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.

The Day I had to leave you when my Life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone. As for your Dearest Family they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.

Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.

To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.

So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.
