When that bubble of trouble bursts all dignity and integrity must stand ready for honorable duty. Courage and commitment, Officer Cook, gentle and caring on behalf of Dade County. Your actions of bravery and heroism belong right where humbleness and humility take their eternal spots next to angels who sacrificed their unwavering and unselfish character as you so solemnly did over forty plus years ago. It will always be sad you cannot be present to share happiness with your family. By day or night they can view your soul lighting up the skies. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
