Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain. America, America, God shed His grace on thee. And crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. The day you gave your life, Officer Cook, God's spacious skies were very sunny and hot outside. Despite the atmospheric conditions, you hung in there and endeavored to weather the storm against evil. The wickedness of May 16, 1979, was something of an indignant and ignominious act against all law enforcement personnel who wage this seemingly never ending battle against a ruination of society. You my neighbor, friend and hero, lived a very humble and blessed life, with a police career that was cut way too short by violence. You had all the makings of a very promising career, earmarked by honor, integrity and dignity. It was your humanely brave actions, calculated courage and vigorous valor that helped in a way of your heroics in saving and protecting your comrades who were wounded and nearly killed and those three civilians, two who also had been wounded. The brothers and sisters, your colleagues, all have you to thank, Officer Cook. You have allowed them by your unselfish sacrifice to see another sunrise, sunset and the many waves in our oceans. God has indeed shed His grace and bestowed His kindnesses upon your most beloved and treasured soul. Rest in peace. Your badge shown brilliantly by your actions and mannerisms. You made your family and I will always consider you my friend, you made my cry, but blessed to have known what heroes and heroines are really made of. Your humility is your legacy, one can accentuate all that you represented to Dade County and its residents.

You ask why I perch on a jade green mountain? I laugh but say nothing. My heart free like a peach blossom in the flowing stream going by in the depths in another world not among men. Well right at this moment, Officer Cook, you and Karen should be vacationing at the top of ski resort if skiing was your passion. Like the waves of the mighty oceans at night, you very beloved soul travels about them and illuminates the darkness that is cast out there. Evil robbed you of your young life and career, but the wonderful memories your beloved family has of you cannot be taken away. Your beloved wife, Karen, your darling mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, your big sister, Nancy and her lovely family of which I met some of all know you to be their five-star police hero through and through. Through your honest and dignified representation of all Dade County citizens, the seeds that have blossomed and stand for your bravery to act, your courage to lead, your dignity and integrity so vital to your service, protection and patrol of those who placed their trust and loyalty in you. Since we both grew up in the North Miami Beach, Florida community where you were known, admired and loved, I doff my cap when I walk each day by your block and offer you a very hearty salute for your valor. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. The sun shines brightly, the stars twinkle glowingly for it's the labor of love by men and women in the law enforcement arena, Officer Cook, who have delivered quality and do it in a most humanely humble manner. God bless you and your family. God's perches hold those who made the ultimate sacrifice allowing them to stand guard over those who took over your watch. You'll never steer them off course.

For the Lord your God is bringing you unto a good land, a land of flowing streams, with springs and underground waters welling up in valleys and hills, a land of wheat and barley, of vines, fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, a land where you may eat without scarcity, where you will lack nothing, a land where stones are iron, from hills where you may mine copper. You shall eat your fill and bless the Lord your God for the good land He has given you. We can certainly thank the Lord for all that you did, Officer Cook, while you were among us. You looked at each moment as a blessing and take full advantage of your abilities to make Dade County residents, serene, safer and much more secure. Your honor, dignity and integrity, coupled with your bravery to act, your courage to command humbly and the valor so vital to any police officer's mission captivated the minds and hearts of all. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.God blesses are who serve Him in truth and in kindness. You were a treasured soul and a gem of a gentleman.

It is in so many ways fruitful. All creation comes from it. Yet it forms not only the basic raw material for humankind, but also the substance of the incarnation of God's children. You were one of God's chosen angels, Officer Cook and now you have a special mission to gently watch over all men and women of the law enforcement communities in making certain they are doing their utmost to serve and protect with the same both mind and skillset that you crafted during your watch. Make sure they are performing admirably and with due respect to all citizens, in that they too possess, honor, dignity and integrity. This is not born in every person, it has to be sharpened, practiced and preached. It will serve them if they are devoted, dedicated and determined as you faithfully executed your official duties. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You were a thoughtful individual, calm and caring. One can never go wrong following this example.

The earth is at the same time mother, she is mother of all that is natural, mother of all that is human. She is the mother of all, for contained in her are the seeds of all. Your beloved mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, may you live and be well, Officer Cook, is and was the reason, because not just for our dads, but our mothers who have the seeds of life implanted in their wombs for nine months, gave birth to a real honest and endearing son. One whose genius and level-headed assisted you in staying the honorable course. This never ever let you down and was the basis for your humble life and quite outstanding police career with the Metro-Dade Police Department. It would not take a rocket scientist or nuclear engineer to figure out why you were successful. In a profession that is very dangerous and demands the utmost mindset and concentration, you exhibited bravery to behold, courage to create and valor to validate. your calming voice of reason, logic and compassion were also the centerpieces of a well carved out career and the sacrifice that was made by you, Officer Cook, on May 16, 1979, was exemplary in that you voluntarily went to a scene you had visited many other times and endeavored to right a problem of which you had a vast experience in dealing with for six years of sweat, toil and excellent results. As stated before, good can only trump evil. You commit a crime, be prepared to do the time. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Mr. and Mrs. Cook, your beloved and darling son, "Billy," Officer William C. Cook, was your pride and joy along with his beloved sister, Nancy and through his humility, comes the fruits of his labor and the seeds of hope, freedom and unity that he planted in the hearts and minds of all Dade County residents to blossom for future generations. I'm terribly sorry I never had the opportunity to meet such a warm and caring family as The Cook Family. A pioneer family in the North Miami Beach, Florida community where you were loved, cherished, treasured as a public servant and most of all respected and revered.

I part the out thrusting branches and come in beneath, the blessed and the blessing trees. Though, I am silent, there is singing around me. Though, I am dark, there is vision around me. Though, I am heavy, there is flight around me. The sun, she is setting in the tall grass beneath the pines, where the heart beats one with the land, where the mule deer approach their antlers raised, where with palms unturned we pray. We pray daily for your soul, Officer Cook and for the souls of those departed officers who gave their live sin the line of duty serving the communities where they were revered and respected. You rest near an oak tree, sturdy as ever, so too your professional teats were as sturdy as ever. Bravery, courage, honor and respect does not just come or turn on with a blink of an eye or a snap of a finger. It began as the genesis from your beloved parents who raised you and Nancy, Officer Cook, with a fabric of morals and ethical admiration for every human being who has walked the face of this earth. As one of God's golden angels, your wings can continue their flights above this earth helping God protect those who took over and have faithfully continued your watch. These officers are the branches of the trees of which you firmly planted the seeds of hope, unity and freedom which we pray will continue to blossom. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Rustle and shimmer of icy creek waters stones turn underfoot, small and hard on toes, cold nose dripping, singing inside, creek music, heart music, smell of sun on gravel. I pledge allegiance. Police officers all take a pledge to perform their jobs, their professions to the very best of their abilities. And you performed your job, Officer Cook, with a highly professional skill set based on determination, honesty, dignity and integrity. You were not afraid to do anything that would only serve and protect the citizens of Dade County. Hot weather or cold weather, rain or shine, your resourcefulness, your unwavering faith served your community many times over. And now the sacrifice you made has stood the test of time and will forever benefit those who relied on your bravery, courage and valor to make their lives safer and more prosperous. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The strength of fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun, the life that never goes away, they speak to me and my heart soars. You acted on May 16, 1979, Officer Cook, with total zeal and countless energy to help your comrades head off something that you had a God-given talent to undertake. The next time we fire up our grills and put some charcoal in them, maybe we should think about your life with Karen, your police career which was so dear and near to you, then come to the realization that heroes and heroines are not just created and placed out in their communities to serve and to protect. God only knows when they are called to His heavenly tribunal, why do things, evil have to occur to mostly good law abiding citizens of which police still are. They too have rights, but it is the rights, freedoms and unities of the residents that are their number one responsibility and priority. Seeing people obey the laws of which they take a solemn oath to may sure they are doing what is deemed proper. The respect, honor dignity and integrity that you carried with you, Officer Cook, this shall never be taken from you. Violence is something we have been dealing with for centuries, just one day we pray it is curbed forever. In the grand scheme of Dade County, you played an essential role in an effort to rid this evil from our environment. You will always be thought of in the highest regard. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dewdrop on the flower speaks to me. We may not see you physically, Officer Cook, but, somehow we can feel the wondering of your golden spirit as it passes by each day. Each day of life, vigor and vitality can be directly attributed to your heroism. That's right. Whenever an officer is brave, courageous and valiant, puts their life and career on the line for us to prosper, we say thanks and offer prayers that their souls keep ascending and observing the happenings here in this world. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me. Since you scaled the the highest of heights in dedication, desire, determination, dignity, integrity and in honor, Officer Cook, you can now and have taken your rightful place as a police hero among all those other men and women who bravely steered evil off of the streets. When we hear the thunder or see the lightning, this is the sign that your wonderfully engaging spirit is trying to convey a message to us. Stay clear of evil, keep a smile on your face and an optimistic attitude that everything will be fine. You lightened our loads of of worry and torment. Perhaps we can build upon your courage in the face of wickedness that you fought very hard to contain. Metro-Dade Police Department had one of its most reliable and a most dependable officer within their ranks who will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass speaks to me. As an outdoors person, Officer Cook, you came to appreciate life and all that it has to offer. There is no finer smell than that of freshly cut grass. Where you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, hopefully they attend to the grounds as well as you attended to the needs, service and protection of all Dade County residents.

And I thought over again my small adventures. As with a shore wind I drifted out in my kayak and thought I was in danger. My fears, those small ones, that I thought were so big, for all the vital things I had to get and to reach. And yet, there is only one great thing. The only thing to live to see in huts and on journeys. The great day that dawns and the light that fills the world. I'm sure growing up you thought and pondered, Officer Cook, on what you would want to become. You thought, you dreamed and you made it happen. One sometimes needs to scrape the bottom, before surfacing to the top of what they desire to do. They need a plan of action, you had that, the resources, you worked hard, saved your income to go to Miami-Dade, where I too attended before graduating with a degree in journalism from Florida International University. I had some bumps in the road, but if you are true to yourself and your family, you can make a difference. You certainly excelled in your pathways as a police officer. No doubt about this. You bravery, quickness to act to a call on May 16, 1979, will never be forgotten. Your valiant efforts saved your fellow comrades from more dire harm and that of those civilians who all were eternally grateful to you. Your partner that day, Reserve Officer Scott Lincoln, also thinks of you. You acted with clarity, tried to stay as focused as you could and protected your comrades with outstanding courageousness. You were a friend to all, treasured and cherished forever. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Everyday is a gift from God and each day we should treasure and make the most of. Holiness keeps people together, it can lead to unity, peace and freedom where it is needed the most. You reflect each moment of your life on how you can achieve and strive to make this world a better place to live and to prosper. The world is a multi-cultured one and however we can make it better we should take full advantage. You did this for twenty-five years of excellence and quite fruitful accomplishment. Better yet, you achieved in humbleness, honor, desire, dignity and in the commitment to integrity and with sincerity. There can be no better way to have one's legacy reflect what we all desire in the many brave soldiers and distinguished law enforcement personnel, who risk their beings for our dreams, aspirations and inspirations to be successful ones. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Lord, the air smells good today, straight from the mysteries within the inner courts of God. A grace like new clothes thrown across the garden, free medicine for everybody. The trees in their prayer, the birds in praise, the first violets kneeling. Whatever came from being is caught up in being, drunkenly forgetting its way back. The air you breathed, Officer Cook, sure smelled mighty fine and those pictures you snapped of nature sure were very beautiful. You were a very fine man, an inspiration from what your nephew, Justin and your niece, Gina told me. They all miss you and remember you for your good name, honesty and fine showmanship of accomplishment with all the traits so vital to making one a success in this community where you were cherished and very well respected. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Each day is a gift from God and holds forth in time. It is written in the arched sky, it looks out from every star. It is spread out like a legible language upon the broad face of an non sleeping ocean. It is the poetry of nature, it is that which uplifts the spirit within us. And it was your wonderful life and career, Officer Cook, which did and has continued to uplift the spirits of your loving family members, fellow comrades of the police department, past and present and all the wonderful people that were friends of Karen and yourself. Your bravery, commitment to justice and excellence in performance of the duties given to you are what your legacy stands for. Obviously, police officers need all the proper tools and behavioral characteristics to function. You had them and much more to offer this world. As I've reflected in the past, God has now called you home to His golden kingdom to assist Him with a much more eternally fundamental task along with those who made the ultimate sacrifice like you. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Help expand the rays hope and optimism through society.

May we shine with a pure inner passion that will spread rapidly through these leaden times. May we all awaken to our true and only nature-none other than our nature that we live and breath the fresh air outdoors. We call upon your superpowers God, in which you align the planets, stars and all that lies within your brilliant skies. Imbue our personalities an dour relationships with harmony, unity and peace. Fill us with a sense of immense time so that our brief flickering lives may truly reflect the work of vast ages past and also the millions of years of evolution whose potential lies in our trembling hands. O, stars, lend us your burning passion. O, silence give wait to our voice, we ask for the presence of your uplifting spirit. We call upon our fellow brothers and sisters who have laid down their lives in devotion and in faithfulness to their duties, shield them from any harm, allow their loved ones to remain steadfast to their pursuits as did their loved ones. Officer Cook, you'll never be forgotten and though your life was all too brief and your career cut short by a wanton act of violence and aggression toward you and your fellow officers, watch over the souls of your faithful comrades in this world, who like you carry a heavy burden. Help them to carry the torch of decency, decorum, dignity, honor and integrity as you so doggedly did for six years of determined service and protection. The people of Dade County expect nothing but the best and you my neighbor, friend and hero, delivered excellence each and everyday with a renewed sense of both passion and careful consideration. Rest in peace. The flames of hope and survival burn brightly because of your boldness to vanquish wickedness from the streets, which in turn has turned pessimism into a new spirit of optimism.

We call upon the spirit of evolution, the miraculous force that inspires rocks and dust to weave themselves into biology. You have stood by us for millions and billions of years-do not forsake us now. Empower us and awaken in us pure and dazzling creativity. You that can turn scales into feathers, seawater to blood, caterpillars to butterflies, metamorphose our species, awaken in us the powers we need to survive the present crisis and evolve into more atoms of our solar journey. Awaken in us a sense of who we truly are: tiny ephemeral blossoms on the Tree of Life. Make the purposes and destiny of that tree our own purpose and destiny. Fill each of us with love for our true self.Fill us with the powerful urge to do good for the well being and unfolding of ourselves. May we speak on behalf of all human councils of all plants, animals, and landscapes of the earth. On behalf of all police officers who have ever worn the badge and uniform let us pray that they perform their assignments with the same acute awareness, sense of passion, care, consideration, honesty, dignity and integrity with a level head as you, Officer Cook, performed your job. Your boldness to banish evil on May 16, 1979 is so noted. Your swiftness to bravery, courageousness and valor shall always remain the vital cog in generations to come.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes around to another form. The child weaned from mother's milk, now drinks wine and honey mixed. God's joy moves from unmarked box to unmarked box, from cell to cell. As rainwater, down into flowerbed. As roses, up from ground. Now it looks like a plate of rice and fish, now a cliff covered with vines, now a horse being saddled, it hides within these till one day it cracks open. There is the light gold of wheat in the sun and the gold of bread made from wheat....I have neither, I am only talking about them as a town in the desert looks up to stars on a clear night. We grieve for all of our brave and sincerely dedicated police officers such as yourself, Officer Cook, who have made the ultimate sacrifice which serves as our lesson on why we have such fine personnel who are willing to risk their lives to expose and to quash wickedness from the streets, that became a very dangerous challenge to talented officers like yourself. At night we just need to look up above and your soul as well as all the other brave souls are shining as brightly like those constellations. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, one day our tears will be replaced with smiles and happy faces, for we will see you once again. Those streets were your second home and those citizens understood and comprehended how your service and protection allowed them the chance to pave a path for new opportunities. Your beloved parents surely raised a very resourceful and prideful son.

Now talking God, with your feet I walk. I walk with your limbs. I carry forth your body. For me your mind thinks. Your voice speaks for me. Beauty is before me and beauty is behind me. Above and below me hovers the beautiful. I am surrounded by it. I am immersed by it. In my youth I am aware of it. And in my old age I shall walk quietly the beautiful trail. Now you travel very peacefully, Officer Cook, high above in God's golden fruited plains. The brotherhood you created on behalf of all residents of Dade County shall and forever be emblazoned by dignity, honesty and integrity. You were the Metro-Dade Police Department's quintessential police officer, where progressive thinking, common sense and your soothing voice helped you both solve and resolve many a crisis. Your bravery, courage and valiant actions on May 16, 1979, have allowed all to remain safe and to live their lives and to carry forward their pursuits with a valid sense of optimism and unity.

A long time ago I have lived with you. And now we must be going. Separately to be together. Perhaps I shall be the wind, to blur your smooth waters. So that you do not see your face too much. Perhaps I shall be the star, to guide your uncertain wings. So that you have direction in the night. Perhaps I shall be the fire to separate your thoughts so that you do not give up. Perhaps I shall be the rain, to open up the earth, so that your seed may fall. Perhaps I shall be the snow to let your blossoms sleep, so that you may bloom in spring. Perhaps I shall be the stream, to play a song on the rock, so that you are not alone. Perhaps I shall be the mountain, so that you always have a home. Your life and police career was cut way too short, Officer Cook, by wanton violence, but the accomplishments, the achievements humbly speaking far outweighed anything that could be taken from you. As I reflected in the past, your actions, your good qualities, your good name can never be taken from you. You were one of Metro-Dade Police Department's heroes to be sure. There is and was no mistaking your congeniality, your honorable ethics which backed up all of your dignity, integrity, bravery, courage and valor. You waged a daily war against evil and gave every ounce of your physical strength to help stem the tide. Evil and any kind of wickedness cannot ever triumph over goodness that we all hope is proudly and firmly represented in this great land of which you were a loyal and faithfully resourceful public servant whose loving care and consideration for a community is still felt all these years after your sacrifice. I meant to utilize the word meant, in which those citizens could sleep sounder and more securely because of you. You've reached that eternal mountain, the pinnacle, where now you have taken your place to look down from the heavens above helping God watch over those officers who try to keep up the good fight against tyranny and evil. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero against God's golden wings as your humble actions have allowed the seeds of peace, freedom and unity to blossom and multiply in Dade County forever.

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. Truth be said, Officer Cook, your soul my neighbor, friend and hero rests in peace. You were a humane inspiration to all. All your career and life was encapsulated in good deeds, clean speech, honesty and a willingness to be most resourceful, loyal and quite unassuming as well as reliable and dependable. Always there in a pinch and May 16, 1979, bore out this fact explicitly.

I am of the family of the universe and with us all together I do not fear being alone. I can reach out and touch a rock or hand or dip my feet in water. Always there is somebody close by and when I speak I am answered by a plane's roar or the bird's whistling or voices of others in conversation far apart from me. When I lie down to sleep, I am in the company of the dark and the stars. Breathe to me, sheep in the meadow. Sun and moon, my father and my father's brother, kiss me on the brow with your light. My sister, earth holds me up to be kissed. Sun and moon, I smile at you both and spread my arms in affection and lay myself down at full length for the earth to know I love it too and am never to be separated from it. In no way shall death part us. You sleep in the valley in the shadows of death, Officer Cook, where no harm will ever come your way again. I know your beloved wife, Karen, your loving sister, Nancy and your adored mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, miss embracing you. You were the apple of their eyes and you shall partake in the fruits of the next world and continue to be held up by God. The sacrifice you made my neighbor, friend and hero only serves to illuminate the world and dispel this wickedness. Rest in peace.

Those who have passed are never gone. They are there in the thickening shadow. The non-living are not under the earth. They are in the tree that rustles, they are in the wood that groans, they are in the water that sleeps, they are in the hut, they are in the crowd, the non-living are not gone. Officer Cook, as you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, we can ponder all the reasons as to why you should still be with us, still your loving and cherished soul floats overhead in God's deep blue heavenly skies shining forth, as though you were here. Your talents met all Dade County residents could certainly sleep more sounder and safer at night or whenever. It's no tall tale, you were a humble and devoted public servant who delivered pride, honor, dignity and integrity to your department, family and friends each day of your treasured young life and career. Your father, Charles and you can now and forever be held in God's palms promoting freedom, peace and unity for all. You live on by your deeds, good name and honorable upbringing.

We know ourselves to be made from this earth. We know this earth is made from our bodies. For we see ourselves. And we are nature. We are nature seeing nature. We are nature with a concept of nature. Nature weeping. Nature speaking of nature to nature. The blackbird flies in us, in our inner sight. We see the the arc of her flight. We measure the ellipse. We predict its climax. We are amazed. We are moved. We fly. We watch her wings negotiate the wind, the substance of the air, its elements and the elements of those elements and count those elements found in other beings, the sea urchin's sting, ink, this paper, our bones, the flesh of our tongues with which we make the sound "blackbird," the ear with which we hear, the eye which travels the arc of her flight. And yet the blackbird does not fly in us, but somewhere else free of our minds and now even free of our sight, flying in the path of her own will. You went out every second on the streets, Officer Cook, in a brave and a gallant effort to restore and to secure the rights and unity of all residents. Your heroics won't ever be overlooked or forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, keep soaring like an eagle. Your eyes and ears were vital in all your service and protection. Help God to assist those officers eyes and ears which need to be utilized with due diligence. hearing, seeing and proper speaking are the necessary tools of your profession, they surely need to be emphasized.

The man whose mind is rounded out to perfection, knows full well, truth is not cut in half and things do not exist apart from the mind. Without divisions, grass, trees the sod on which they grow, all have the same kinds of atoms. Some are barely in motion, while others make haste along the path, but they will all in time. You were a very well rounded individual, Officer Cook, humbly and quietly confident in all your God given abilities. There are certain things you just cannot teach everyone. You my neighbor, friend and hero were taught all the lessons in life by your loving parents and took these examples to the next level of your very promising police career at the Metro-Dade Police Department. Rest in peace, a gift from Our Creator, you now rest in God's exclusive shelter where you and your comrades help Him with His patrols of those sacred golden streets.
