Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Those tails of talent, those kites of kindness are all flying perfectly in heaven, Officer Cook. Your unwavering, undying,unending and unselfish character, honesty and perfect acumen for respect and relevance have all been kept alive within your family. They are beloved just as yourself, you were adored and the darling son of your parents who raised both you and your big sister, Nancy with class and respect. Your beloved wife, Karen, who like yourself was a woman of valor who lived with an angel and a humble hero everyday of your marriage. Life and its moments can be fleeting and certainly short and brief and yet the lights of your soul have never flickered once. A career and a life well lived and well resourceful. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Dade County was duly protected and served by your abounding courtesies and graceful fortitude.

Virtue is a trait all should rely upon. But, sadly valor and esteem are missing from honor and respect. Our country, our place of happiness is less safe because of your absence, Officer Cook, one that makes hearts beat faster and souls that have grown fonder by your unwavering and unselfish dignity, loyalty to fellow officers and the unrelenting resiliency poured into your desires and dreams. Dade County and its citizens still strive for that quality of harmony, unity that follows close behind. Our Maker's plains of perfect harmony where angelic heroes and heroines souls revered, blessed and undisturbed patrolling those sacred gates of gallantry forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Futility can create a frenzy like no other. Dade County has had its times of adversity and trouble and when it did you, Officer Cook, came along to put an end to this rage of violence. Your soul was pure and your heart of honesty and heroism was most humble. A gold and sacred heart of deserving respect for mankind, society and humanity in general. Nothing worse than having your peace of mind, integrity and characters of decency, dignity and morals taken suddenly by a troubled man. An individual who usurped authority and leadership to spread his brand of callousness throughout your community, a place you called home, grew up and got married to a wonderful woman in Karen. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Eyes working in unison. Arms to reach out and pull someone from danger. Ears to hear any sign of trouble. Legs to run right square into adversity.
