The habits of people and their customs change from minute to minute. Sometimes one must draw a fine line and not cross that line. Those who are humane and decent recognize where they stand. We rise and fall, yet through it all we remain a stable nation. The wars, the violence, the bloodshed and the baseless hatred must soon stop. It must cease if peace and prosperity is to be rightfully obtained by all. You provided us with excellent care and compassion for every person, Officer Cook. Not sure just a thank you would suffice after all you gave the ultimate sacrifice of your character, integrity, leadership and vision on behalf of Dade County and its citizens. The consideration, the cooperation took part in warding off consternation. Your tenacity and ferocity were a powerful duo in this fight over evil and in particular that ugly domestic dispute which took you way too soon from your family, comrades and close friends.

I spoke yesterday morning at a Sabbath service I lead in the town of Pembroke Park, Florida in Broward county. I visit and try my best to guide these folks who average ninety years of age. Officer Cook, you carried yourself with professional pride, integrity, honesty and humility in order for your messages of peace and unity through constant determination and the self-motivation needed for this to sink in. I used two words, "Homeland Security," and they were used because where they residents live is in an adult congregate living residence, not a facility, this is akin to a jail. They have freedoms to move about, some may even drive. I was told of a one-hundred and one year old man driving from this same place where I visit to Boca Raton, Florida to work. This is in Palm Beach County. In Dade county where you humbly patrolled you were well admired as a hero and an intelligent man. An officer of first class decency, desire and devotion to faithfully and loyally discharge his duties to serve and protect. I admire men and women who tackle tough and demanding jobs where challenges must be met. There must be efficiency, proficiency and no deficiency. Astuteness and awareness must travel around with each brave soul of character, conviction and commitment to both excellence and pride. You donned your uniform and badge for a reason, Officer Cook. The supreme test for any person's morals and ethics are their work habits and how they measure up during stressful situations. You towed the company line, Officer Cook, obeying and following rules and regulations designed to keep both you and the public safe while on duty. You have been saluted and remembered for humility and the noble actions which you executed on May 16, 1979. Always a true savior and a blessed Godsend. You took care of us very well, Officer Cook, our venues were properly maintained and the enhancement of peace shall be the foundations you masterfully have to set down. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Our homeland was honored and will forever be in debt to your gracious and gallant missions of fruition you performed on behalf of all mankind.
