Reflections for Special Officer Dwayne Anthony Reeves

I Miss you Dwayne. Words can not describe how much the family misses you. Thanksgiving isnt the same with out you. Newark has lost a great Cop. But you inspired me to do police work, so in a few years, they will have another good cop to look foward to. I Will always love you.

This is for the Reeves family. I live and work in D.C. I am the operations manager for the Hard Rock Cafe in Washington, DC. I am 2 blocks away from the National Law Enforcemanet Memorial. I think about Dwayne everyday! Please reach out to me, we continue to be concern!! I have been involved with COPS for the last 3 years. My executive chef lost his brother here in Washington, DC. I have been waiting for this day for some time now. Dwayne deserves this. I have rallied everyone from Essex Catholic for this moment. HIS NAME GOES ON THAT WALL!!! Once again, my condolences to the family. I miss you guys, Lo, Ronnie and everyone else. Robert Livingston

My Dearest Dwayne,

It has been such a long time since I seen or talked to you (probably like 15-20 years) and you had been on my mind in the most recent weeks. I ran into another classmate and we were wondering how all of the class of 84'of OLMBS were doing. Well, today I ran into your mother in PA. I never see anyone I know there and it was nice to see a familiar face. To my dismay I found out that you were gone. It hurt my heart so much I could just see your face so clearly and remember how much fun we used to have together in school. We were all like a family. I got to see your baby and she is beautiful. Im so sorry that we lost touch. But your memory is forever. May God bless and keep your family and I will never forget you.

Dwayne,
It is still very difficult to comprehend what has happened. I miss our conversations and your advice. There are many things about you that I miss. Just to let you know that I'll be carrying on our Halloween antics. We've got some good surprises planned. Well dear brother...say hello to Ma and Uncle Bee. Love and miss you all.

Hi D,
I was reading this poem and thinking of you, as usual. This poem reflects how I try to get through each day.

"I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence; I often speak your name. All I have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart."

I love you, D and miss you so much!

Forever and always,

Lo
Your Mother

I love you always,

Even though a year has gone by since Dwayne was taken from us, I often think about him, his wife, his children, his mom, etc...I was a classmate of Dwayne's at OLMBS in E.O., NJ and what I remember most about Dwayne in those days was that he was always laughing - like any typical 11-14 year old boy should. And it does my heart good in knowing the type of young man and father that Dwayne grew up to be. I hadn't seen him in about 10 years, but just looking at his picture I can tell that he was a bonafide MAN who took care of home and his momma. Dwayne really had no other choice but to choose right over wrong, Ms. Lois did not play that - and neither did his grandmother! To Ashley, Mrs. Reeves (wife), Ms. Lois (mom), his baby girl and the rest of the family...the best way we can honor Dwayne's memory is to keep living as he would have it - never forget the love he brought to your lives. Keep the memories close, rely on them in times of sadness and pain, but ultimately, I pray you will find the solace you long for in our Lord and Saviour. You are constantly in my family's prayers. Blessings to you all...

TO THE MOTHER OF OFFICER REEVES: KNOW THAT OTHER MOTHERS ARE THINKING OF YOU TODAY. I KNOW THAT THIS PAST YEAR HAS BEEN SO HARD FOR YOU. I TOO LOOK FOR MY SON IN DIFFERENT PLACES. I WAS OUTSIDE OF MY WORK LAST WEEK AND I LOOKED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND SAW A NATIONAL GUARD OFFICER THAT LOOKED SO MUCH LIKE MY SON. I JUST KEPT STARING BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE THAT MOMENT.
I AM SO GLAD YOU HAVE WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF YOUR SON. HOLD THEM IN YOUR HEART.
GOD BLESS YOU TODAY AND EVERY DAY, AND MAY HE KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE.

My Dearest Dwayne,

As I sit here and have so much to say to you I find that I cannot put it all into words. Listen to my heart and you will know what those words are. Listen to my heart and you will know how much I love and miss you. Listen to my heart Dwayne and you will know that a day does not pass without my heart longing for you. Listen to my heart and know that it is broken because I cannot hear your voice, your laughter, and most of all, to hear you call my name.

My heart is carrying a heavy burden but the light at the end of the tunnel is that I do know that one day it will be lifted as we meet again. And to know that the Reeves clan will be together as a family one glorious day on the Other Side of The Mountain.

I love you Dwayne and deeply, deeply miss you so very much.

It has been 1 year since your tour of duty ended and I know the broken hearts have that horrible pain that just will not go away. They think of you every day and will for the rest of their lives. Your mother belongs to two clubs that no one wants to belong too, Blue Star for losing a police officer and the other group is being a bereaved parent. Your mother carried you in her arms when you were a baby and now carries you in her heart and will forever. Keep watch over your loved ones and protect them. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten as heroes never die.

It's been a year since you were taken away from us to be a officer for the top police director(GOD).Reeves I can remember when you first started working at The Newark Housing Authority, and you showed me what type of officer you were from day one. I never really got a chance to work with you,but we did give each tips on being better officers. You are missed very much by me and I know your family misses you also. That day will forever remain in my head because we talked just seconds, and it bothers me that we can not work as I wish we could have. We would have been great together. Just think (Chancellor Ave/Van Velsor) didn't care for our police work. Reeves I was put in charge of putting together a benefit basketball game in your honor,I'm gonna try to make you proud. Your extended brothers will always watch out for your family we got there back.
(It taken me this long to write to you, but you just know I'm always talking about you) My hat goes off to a Police Officer with a good heart, and integrity.

My Dearest Dwayne,
Only God knows how much I miss and love you. There are times when I'm home and I'll hear a car door close, and I'll think - that's Dwayne! Oh D, I know it's not you, but my heart hasn't caught up to my mind yet.

Now that I'm able to put pen to paper, my thoughts are jumbled. I think of you hourly, daily, weekly - in other words, all of the time. I miss you so much and look forward to the day we'll be together again. You and Mother must be having a time together - I miss you both.

This doesn't feel real to me D. I actually look for you in a crowd. I want to hear your voice, your laughter; I want to feel your hand in mine, and the way you would put your arm around my shoulders and give me that chuckle of yours.

I thank God for giving me the privilege of being your mother for 35 short years - it wasn't long enough!

God Bless you Babe; I love you so much - and one day D, one day!

All my love,

Lo
Your Mother
