I was driving home from a catholic community where I visit with the jewish residents, Officer Cook and just cannot stop thinking of you. Officer DiGenova's twin brother, Kenneth who you probably knew lives on NW 135th street and NW 6th ave less than a mile from the two cemeteries, Mt. Sinai, the jewish one and Dade North Memorial Park where you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Yesterday,in California two officers were killed at a motel answering a domestic incident just as you did the day your career and life ended because of an angry and deeply hateful man. Suffice it to say your dedication and performance was outstanding as was your unwavering and unselfish dignity, honesty and integrity they were the principle ingredients to a successful life and sadly all too short of a career serving the citizens of Dade County delivering peace and stability all through your virtue, valor and versatility that was represented in your true character, commitment and convictions trustworthy and concise.
