Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Terror and torment sting society and make mankind ache with agony. Nothing tantalizing about this. We are tortured by terrible tragedies and there is nothing worse than violence and its commission being carried out against our serenity and tranquility. You carried the torch, Officer Cook, for your department and Dade County as a wholesome and most revered hero. Respected for bravery, integrity, honesty and wisdom that guided your trails of ferocity until Our Maker came calling for your young and beautiful soul of appreciation. That what heaven has for eternity, your sweet and good natured character and loyal commitments to everything principles, pride and excellence represent. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. North Miami Beach just isn't the same without your brilliant smile and very truthful, trusting and engaging personality.

The statute of limitations sometimes unfairly disrupts the balance of justice, trust and truth. Good men and women struck down in the prime of their lives by a rash of wanton and heinous evil. Taken before their time to a place where only God looks after their distinctly honorable and humanely brave souls. Hearts that should still be beating. Families all left searching for answers. Your family, Officer Cook, always has that gaping hole of your most untimely loss. Humanity, society, mankind and most importantly Dade County and its people who suffered a most sad tragedy. A very terrible chapter in a life filled with dreams and dignity now being washed by tears of anger over a young man so valiant and marvelous whose character never waned. Always fondly remembered and paid homage for giving safety, security and harmony a location to tie together a portion of humility. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
