I Would Like To Extend My Deepest Condolences To The Family Of Dornell Cousette From Betty Hill Reed & Family May He Rest In Peace

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. I pray God gives you all strength and peace during this difficult time. 

I am deeply saddened by the death of Investigator Cousette. He was a friend and former colleague of mine from Tuscaloosa City Schools, Juvenile Court and TCDHR. Each time we worked together. Cousette would always be diligent in the pursuit of the truth, justice and would take the time to mentor youth that were not making good choices. He always made you feel safe when you went out with him on cases. Truly an honorable man and a hero to many.
My prayers are with his daughters, Celita, his family, friends and TPD. May GOD give them a peace that surpasses all understanding that will keep their heart and mind through Christ JESUS.
