Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

As the years pass my memory fades but one memory remains... my love for you. How I wish things could have been different, but you were called away. Waiting for the day we can be together again. I loved you then, I love you now and will love you forever.

Deputy Couzynse,

I came upon your memorial page while leaving a reflection for another deputy who was also killed in the line of duty. I'm so sorry to hear of your death, especially when it was so avoidable. If that man had been sober that day, you would still be with us today. Thank you so much for your years of dedicated service to your Parish. I will pray for your parents, four siblings, family, friends, loved ones and colleagues. Rest in peace.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. –
Matthew 5:9

I Remember You…In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
I remember you; In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
I remember you; in the opening of buds and in the warmth of summer,
I remember you; in the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn,
I remember you; in the beginning of the year and when it ends,
I remember you; when I am weary and in need of strength,
I remember you; when I are lost and sick at heart,
I remember you; when I have joys I yearn to share,
I remember you; so long as I live, you too shall live,
For you are a part of me, as I remember you.

66 years ago you came into this world and made it a better place. It's been 35 years since you were taken away and I still miss you every day. Love you forever.

Not sure how this came up on my computer today. I read all of the beautiful tributes to Joanne and remember her as a good friend in high school. My dad, Chief Gibbs, spoke so highly of her when he called to let me know what happened. It is very apparent that she was loved and never forgotten. Linda Gibbs Whitt

I heard your voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face ..
The warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sun today
as its warmth filled the sky ..
I closed my eyes for your embrace
and my spirit soared high.

I saw your eyes in the window pane
as I watched the falling rain ..
It seemed as each raindrop fell
it quietly said your name.

I held you close in my heart today
it made me feel complete ..
You may have died .. but you are not gone
you will always be a part of me.

As long as the sun shines
the wind blows
the rain falls ..
You will live on inside of me forever
for that is all, my heart knows.

JoJo
This November will be 35 yrs without you on the streets of Jefferson Parish
Still can't forget about that awful day a DUI took you from your family and friends.
Your now in heaven guarding the streets of heaven and now your guardian angel to a wonderful person.
I remember that awful watch. Even though I was with a neighboring agency.
JoJo my heart never forget you. I know my Daddy gave you a giant hug since losing him November of 2002.
Even though he was active Constable dying of cancer his name goes up no wear.
One day I meet you and all my friends who are guarding the streets of heaven.
Till the day St Michael takes me to my Daddy. An I can hug each and every one lost behind a badge.

When someone you love dies, you never quite get over it, you just slowly learn to go on without them, but always keeping them tucked safely in your heart.

Love you forever and miss you terribly.

I thought of you today,
but that is nothing new.

I thought of you yesterday
and the 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 a keepsake
from which I’ll never part.

God has you in His arms,
I have you in my heart.

After all these years, I still miss you so much my love. Rest
In Peace

JoJo. I still think of you after all these years. I remember, as being your training officer. if you could search a male for a weapon. We laughed so hard about that. You will always be in my heart.
