Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Curiosity circulates while evil percolates. Wickedness perpetrates unbelievable destruction and your heroic and unselfishly honored actions that sad day, Officer Cook, protected, secured and launched some civility and nobility all tranquil within Dade County's borders. Never more dignity, always treasured and loaded with integrity and sound character that led other comrades through peril. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your reverence and heart each supported equal weight in this seemingly unrelenting battle over violence. Our Creator has a shining angel who got it and humanity certainly misses your smile and its humility that bestowed loyalty within your ranks.
