Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Yeast makes the dough rise. Reverence and respect make dignity, desire and honor that much more humbler. No fumbling, tumbling, just straight ahead service with a smile, Officer Cook, a top officer and a personal friend and hero to so many. Dade County gets up every morning and should thank their lucky stars for your presence of mind and a quieting and peaceful heart that unified the masses. Humility and civility can take a humane bow as sanity and sanctity reigned down on our community. Evil dislikes being disrupted, you tried your utmost, Officer Cook, to channel terror where it belonged. A very good man and a compassionate soul of safety. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
