A true and loyal friend to all I can see why Mr. and Mrs. Cook, your darling, heroic and most beloved "Billy," was revered, admired and greatly respected by all mankind, society and humanity. Humility is not just a gift handed out , rather it is received by one whose life and career of credence lends itself to the everyday challenges that place at times peril and its obstacles of wickedness before its troops who engage such a brutal force, a monster who has no sympathy, empathy or whatever compassion is there to be had. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero along with your most wonderfully beloved parents in God's loving palms cradled with courage, care and kindness and devout character.
