Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

When we call on God, He bends down His ear to listen, as a father bends down to his little child. You would have made a great father and Karen, Officer Cook, a great mother. The patience you both had is a necessity to parenthood and if only God gave you more years. But, you'll always be revered for commitment. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And this is what we are! You were certainly this, Officer Cook. The morals and your upstanding character are your legacies for the community to remember you by. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Lift up your eyes. Your heavenly Father waits to bless you-in inconceivable ways to make your life what you never dreamed it could be. We see your spirit all the time, Officer Cook, when we look toward the skies. You are always watching and caring about how we are doing. You and Karen were blessed abundantly. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

God is a rich and bountiful Father and He does not forget His children, nor withhold from them anything which it would be to their advantage to receive. Officer Cook, the beauty and unique richness of your life is like a beautiful piece of artistry. There for our eyes to behold. We thank you for being there for us at all times to protect and serve our best interests. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Don't we all long for a father who, even though our mistakes are written all over the wall, will love us anyway? Don't we want a father who cares for us in spite of our failures? We do have that type of a father.. A father whose grace is strongest when our devotion is weakest. God loves His children and because of your sacrifice, Officer Cook, He is watching over you and all those officers who did the same. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your loving father my he rest in peace too, and of course your beloved mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, taught you and Nancy the core values essential to your achievements. A lesson not to be forgotten.

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both and you won't have to hunt for happiness. I don't think you and Karen, Officer Cook, had to go hunting for anything, other than to purchase a new home for yourselves. It speaks volumes of your life and performance as a police officer. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoys its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor. You did succeed on all these fronts Officer Cook. Your constant source of consistency is lacking in many departments today and they would greatly appreciate you sending some of that down from heaven. Where is our society today headed? Morals that you had and the dignity with which you performed your duties is sorely missing. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The Creator thinks enough of you to have sent Someone very special so that you might have life-abundantly, joyfully, completely and victoriously. It took a mighty person such as yourself, Officer Cook, to help stem the tide of evil and you were successful in that endeavor. Recalling your treasured life means using opportunities properly to achieve the greatness that is within us and what was instilled by your parents in both you and Nancy. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

If you have any encouragement from being united with God, if any comfort from His love...then make my joy complete by being one in spirit and purpose. Your loving spirit now rests in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, Officer Cook with that of your beloved father, Charles and the motivating factor of how you lived and expect us to forge ahead. The days and nights are longer with your absence, but we know we will see you again some day.

Every path He guides us on is fragrant with His loving kindness and His truth. So true and how profound. A life that you personified Officer Cook, was accentuated with pleasantness. You were there for others and now we pay homage and respect to your illustrious career. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

For God is sheer beauty, all generous in love, loyal always and ever. For as marvelous an individual as you were Officer Cook, you were as sincere as a police officer. You carried on magnificently well and were the ever faithful officer and humanitarian. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Every path He guides us on is fragrant with His loving kindness and His truth. You preached these words, Officer Cook, along with your loving wife, Karen, every moment and they were the compass which guided your lives in the proper direction always. We can recall those who knew you and loved you so dearly what a bright young man you were. More mature and wiser than your years. You had all the talent in the world to be whatever you set your mind out to be. Your never let anyone down. We should have done more for you. In particular, patenting those side-panels, perhaps you may still be with us and enjoying your retirement. Because of your sacrifice, officers now have these panels to wear under their uniforms to further protect them. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

For God is sheer beauty, all generous in love, loyal always and ever. The beauty of your inspired life, Officer Cook, leaves us pondering why did you have to leave this world so young and handsome. So bold, so brave, thrifty, pious and reverent. God's humbleness has no bounds, we are expected to conduct our lives as we see fit, but in an honorable fashion, emulating God's way and how you were raised Officer Cook, that was to live a life of dignity. The words of your affirmation on becoming a police officer meant something very special to you, Officer Cook, my neighbor, friend and hero. Rest in peace.

Joy is the touch of God's finger. The object or our longing is not the touch but the one who touches. This true of all good things-they are all God's touch. Whatever we desire, we are desiring God. I wish i could put my fingers on this and push a button and have you brought back to us, Officer Cook, but I can't. We can touch and place something on your gravestone symbolizing our visit to your sacred burial spot. I have done this and stood there and cried like a baby, even though, I did not know you, but surely wished I did. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You touched our very beings and pierced our hearts with love and affection so deep, it would take centuries to dig.

God's spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who He is and we know who we are: Father and children. You were your parents loving son and trusted servant who went over and beyond to protect women, men and children, people from all walks of life. No matter what stood in your way. Obstacles did not deter you from fulfilling your job and its challenges that were placed in front of you. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

In difficulties, I can drink freely of God's power and experience His touch of refreshment and blessing-much like an invigorating early spring rain. The fog that rolls in, the fresh morning dew, rain, hail what ever element, Officer Cook, we are surely reminded that you lawfully performed your duties in all these elements. Inclement weather does not stop evil from transpiring, and officers such as yourself were there to protect no matter the cost. They are willing to sacrifice their existence if it means keeping the public free from harm's way. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. We can freely use our senses because of your usage of your senses to serve our best interests.

God loved us and through His grace he gave us a good hope and encouragement that continues forever. You gave us inspiration, Officer Cook, and so did you colleagues who made the ultimate sacrifice before you. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The sunshine dancing on the water, the lulling sound of waves rolling into the shore, the glittering stars against the night sky-all God's light. His warmth, His majesty-our father of light reaching out to us, drawing each of us closer to Himself. Every moment we pause and reflect on the profound meaning, Officer Cook, you had in our lives. If we're picnicking at the park or swimming in the ocean, we should pause and thank you for you sacrifice, that has afforded us these liberties to do whatever we want to do. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The Lord's chief desire is to reveal Himself to you and in order for Him to do that, He gives you abundant grace. The Lord gives you the experience of enjoying His presence. He touches you and His touch is so delightful that, more than ever, you are drawn inwardly to Him. Officer Cook, you were drawn along with Karen closer to God and God drew up your plans of being a police officer ever since you were a young man. God stores His plans for us away for safekeeping and one day He will take those plans and reveal them to us. But for now we try to figure out why God needed such a wonderfully kind and articulate young man, Officer William C. Cook, to be with Him on His daily patrols. Warm and sensitive, loving and caring. A great loss for us all. That's for sure! Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Those who draw near to God, One step through doubt that is dim, God will advance a mile, in blazing light to them. God has and will forever keep your cherished soul lit up for us to see and imagine what it would feel like if you were here today among your loving family and friends. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You were a magnet, drawing all close to you, a kindred spirit kind of feeling.

Into all our lives, in many simple, familiar...ways, God infuses this element of joy from the surprises of life, which unexpectedly brighten our days and fill our eyes with light. As long as you with us Officer Cook, you filled our lives completely with all the good things necessary in making our country great. Your police work was a number one. We need more transfusions of joy to make up for what we are lacking in your absence from this modern day world. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Rabbi Lewis S. Davis

Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in You...Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings. You were the gleaming apple of your parents eyes, Officer Cook and now you and your beloved father, Charles are being kept eternally alive in God's shelter nestled in the palms of His hands. Every time we eat something such as a beautiful red apple, this can remind us of yourself. I'm sure you enjoyed an apple or two from time to time. To behold the glory of our Lord is something to cherish forever. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. No pun intended, but you always looked to take a bite out of crime and you so achieved this.

But me He caught-reached all the way from sky to sea; he pulled me out of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos, the void in which I was drowning. They hit me when I was down, but God stuck by me. He stood me up on a wide-open field; I stood there saved-surprised to be loved!. It's not a coincidence Officer Cook, or irony that you were much loved and well-liked by your family members, colleagues, friends, neighbors, whomever you came in contact with. Because of your sacrifice, we're left with a gaping hole, a huge void which can never be filled or replaced. We just have to pick ourselves up by the seat of our pants or fannies and keep trudging along. This is what you would want for us. We can always say a little prayer for God to keep watch over your treasured soul and allow it to rest in peace, my neighbor, friend and hero. America is a beautiful land from sea to shining sea and it's even more attractive because of your value in contributing to society, by serving our best interests with that brilliant smile radiating far and wide.

Surprise us with love at daybreak; then we'll skip and dance all day long...Let your servants see what your best at-the ways you rule and bless your children. And let the loveliness of our Lord, our God, rest on us, confirming the work we do. Oh, yes. Affirm the work we do! We can surely certify all the work you accomplished, Officer Cook, was done with honor, dignity, loyalty and respect for all those you served with and by your affirmation, defended and protected. God certainly now has taken one of His best up to heaven to patrol His streets as you so assuredly did. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Rabbi Lewis S. Davis

February 7, 2013

The reason we can dare to risk loving others is that God has for His sake loved us. Think of it! We are loved eternally, totally, individually, unreservedly! Nothing can take God's love away. Nothing can take away our positive and loving thoughts of you, Officer Cook. Your stellar legacy will shine forever brightly through God's warming rays of the sun. We will carry on and try to soak in all the positive emotions that you my neighbor, friend and hero brought to this earth. A true genuine leader who embellished the principles that make us a great land to live and yet have the freedoms to pursue our passions.
