Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

As sturdy as an oak tree, your unrelenting and unwavering marches forward, Officer Cook, brought new sustenance to Dade County. It's where their hopes, dreams and aspirations could realize success because of your honorable and most humbly dignified heroism. Such heart,class and character all directed with integrity back into the veins of humanity which has missed you as much as your loving family. So skillful and talented, God gave you to your parents for twenty-five all too short years of life sadly snatched away by a very evil and wanton man. His domestic outrage just pathetic and terrorizing. You placed sanity,civility and humility where it was supposed to be, Officer Cook and make no mistake resolve, efficiency and valor all showed themselves and accounted for your outstanding and dutiful performance in saving the people and your comrades from certain death. God took His angel of resolve and tenacity back to heaven to begin the next chapter of your eternal life patrolling those pearly gates. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
