Take heed and pay close and careful attention to those carrying out your assigned duties. Your comrade, friend and cherished peer of perseverance, resolve and resourcefulness, Officer William C. Cook, was a prideful gentleman of gallantry and of action, heroic and honorable in Dade County where he loyally served and protected our stability and reasons why we need to live essentially in quiet and in togetherness. His character and humble stature secured permanent enhancement where violence and mayhem carried out their atrocities and where he gave his total attention to the primary matters at hand.

Conclusions are nothing new. It is how our beginnings unwind. Does our life have humbleness and honesty? Is valor and a free spirit of happiness an accentuation?

Undying, unwavering, no conditions, just true, faithful and determined leadership that carried all your fruitful journeys where Our Lord's destinies came calling.
