Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Mishaps can God forbid have major consequences and must be avoided at all costs. Your stoic and honorably heroic life, Officer Cook, will not be forgotten. You were a true and trusted Dade County public servant who provided your community with humility, sanctity and the civility that comes from being morally disciplined no matter while patrolling for our peace and stability. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The proverbial things in life we just ponder. It's sometimes the simplest of hopes, dreams and goodwill that we must be in tune with. Well, you comprehended your challenges that lied ahead of you, Officer Cook and in making Dade County's residents safer we shall solemnly salute your ultimate sacrifice of your heart of honor and your giant spirit of connecting to mankind. Peace and unity take effort and loyalty to carryout. Terror should not have removed a beautiful soul from among your family and among us. You had more unfinished business and a joyful life with Karen to live and to cherish each other. To dream the impossible dream to fight with unbearable sorrow, your soul has certainly reached the stars that we look at each evening. You are there, Officer Cook, your family's hero, your department's source of recognition and a most reliably gifted man of principle, scruples and values. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
