Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

A serene individual is usually one who is humble, loyal and esteeemed. You surely were, Officer Cook, certainly charismatic and charming with a sweet and simple smile all missed today by your family. Forty-three years ago Dade County lost you to a vile and despicable man who was only bent on revenge against authority. You tried your utmost to calm him and to restore the civility and tranquility onthe streets you solemnly patrolled with effort and precision. There will not be a quip nor hesitation you were consummate, heart and very endearing in mankind's parades of inspiration. Your aspirations were fulfilled and tragically God needed your soul and spirit of virtue constantly abounding in His perfect kingdom where angels take their righteous places marked for special people who fought the fights of ferocity with unbridled passion and compassion. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
