A reflective goodwill is certainly better better than no hope or shoestring of faith. You had desire and determination, Officer Cook, to outlast this intense enemy of violence, such wickedness Dade County could never tolerate. To put this into a proper and a fitting prospective, you possessed more than class, charm and charisma. So much of a hero's life and career are focused and centered on courage and caring consideration while you were out searching for dignity and liberty at the same time keeping cool and calm letting the residents know things would turn out well. Integrity and character were humanely validated as was your virtue and pride. A trusted and truthful soul sadly taken before his missions,journeys and voyages could be completed. They all successful and accomplished at the young age of twenty-five. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
