Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Your personality, Officer Cook, was always congenial, warm and most refreshing. Never cold, dull, boring nor lukewarm. You greeted everyone with a warm smile and honored humility. A real hero so decent and reverent cut down doing your duties at such a tender young age. Twenty-five is still relatively young. But, you were bold and caring. Dade County's citizens were your primary onus and no one was ever letdown. Just all integrity, charm and dignity stoking the fires of your unselfish challenges placed on your daily agenda. Heroism goes to heaven where angels embrace the hearts and souls of all spirits who have served their earthly purposes, so sacred and virtuously trusted. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. North Miami Beach, your peers and family all miss your presence. Your folks are comforted in having their darling and humbly humane son resting together with them in heaven's domains.
