Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The waters of wickedness only get muddier and murkier by the evil that mayhem and mischief present when they are permitted to pass through our society as if nothing happened. You toured as in navigated during your watch, Officer Cook, in and around the corridors of Dade County searching for prosperity, serenity and unity when a frustrated and diabolical young man was plotting to harm, not only hurt but to ambush and kill law enforcement officials. Terribly awful your young life and its candles of courage were extinguished before your time. Only the best of character, morals, dignity and the honorable integrity and its purpose were shuttled back to heaven to watch over your family, friends and peers of perseverance and due diligence. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Humility and harmony from your heart brought endearment to one and all.

Try untying a knot, not always an easy thing to accomplish. Attempt to make peace and ridding the various venues of violence, no small potatoes. Meaning all the practice, training and field-classroom work does not guarantee a thing. This statement alone is a pity and quite sad. Tragedy brings out the humane and humble sides of our beloved heroes and heroines. Officer Cook, you were greatly admired and respected by all officers and whoever you graced for having brought civility and harmony to a place you called home with Karen. It is said in the Jewish religion if one buys burial property then they can be granted a long life. God gave you to your loving parents and sister, Nancy, for twenty-five years of vitality and the journeys where you destinies lied. I'm sure Karen, had to contemplate where to lay your heroically loyal and gentle spirit to rest. A lot of crying and emotion to be sure. If only they could take better care of the grounds at Dade- North Memorial Park, after all heroes are buried there and the families of all who rest eternally there are entitled to having their character and faith sleeping comfortably. You gave your life of bravery and ideals for those of us to cherish. My wife bought in Miami specifically in Little Havana at Mount Nebo Miami Memorial Gardens, a Jewish cemetery so when I visit my grandparents and in laws it is very sad and I do cry. I know where in one-hundred and twenty years we will be, Karen, had to take care in three days of providing you a final spot of serenity where to lay. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Honor, integrity, wisdom, vision and dignity, yours, Officer Cook, are forever in God's gracious and merciful lap where ferocity is profoundly honored as such.

Sacrifice removes a revered man physically, it cannot repeat cannot undo what your bravery, integrity and the desire of dignity stood for, Officer Cook. It was loud and clear, tall and face to face with evil. That young man should never have aimed his violence towards you and your comrades as you were only trying to diffuse a delicately dangerous moment of fear in the hearts of those whom you served with excellence and humility straight from your soul of security. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Animosity always creates bad blood and once that blood is spilled it can never be taken back. Nothing you did, Officer Cook, was in vain, only the finest vigilance and valor befitting a true hero and savior.
