The weather lately has been changing. A little bit cooler and windier in the morning a great time for a walk. To energize the old battery. I told you, Officer cook, that every time a see a plane in the skies above I think of you and Karen, your beloved wife travelling to some destination for a well deserved retirement vacation. Such a life and lives are left in the hands of Our Creator who thinks,postulates and plans our days, weeks, months and years. Which have been unfortunately too many to mention since that hot afternoon of May 16,1979 where you sacrificed your life, Officer Cook. Gladeview in Liberty City and Dade County was the venue where your best conduct,humble virtue and heroic honor, dignity and integrity was summoned to a higher plain. Just terribly sad! You had much more to give back to humanity. So many unfulfilled and uncompleted missions of faith, hope and unwavering goodwill all established by a noble man of honest principles.

Most men and women serve righteously some others, a few stray from the path and must be removed from their posts and taken away from the very streets they preserve. Integrity, dignity and honesty must be properly aligned and installed. Nothing left half undone. The jobs must be completed properly as you demonstrated so skillfully and heroically on behalf of Dade County and society in general, Officer Cook. God has enhanced your wings of praise and blessed your acumen and astuteness that you'll always be eternally rewarded for tireless effort and unselfish sacrifice in the line of obligation. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. In a previous reflection I apologize as I was never comparing you or any diligent public servant to a monkey. The way some police act an animal would be inclined to behave better and that is surely sad terribly tragic as ruination would run rampant. Cannot have that occur ever. The streets deserve respectful representation forevermore. Keep watching your family and the entire world from the best seat above. No obstructed views.
