Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
I'm pretty sure you hugged and said goodbye to your beloved Karen before heading out for work on May 16, 1979. Your family wished you could have been humbly given seventy-five more years to pack honesty, integrity and dignity into a humanity where too many puddles of violence remain. A grand man, a great smile and wonderfully endearing charm and character, the eyes of heaven are constantly looking after your pure and wise soul, Officer Cook. It was and always will be Dade County's front and back seats to a more serene and safe future. God is the judge and ultimately decides blessings, rewards and punishments. Your immortal spirit is being blessed for the fibers of ferocity and the fabrics of humility and values. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
