Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

God answers our questions we just have trouble trying to comprehend the logical conclusions of his answers. Violence and why you were taken from your beloved family, professional colleagues and a host of friends remain etched forever in our thoughts and hearts, Officer Cook. You always and forever are a hero of Dade County and the beloved and esteemed community of which you protected and preserved the quality of life, its dignity, character and wholesome integrity. In your badge and uniform there was solid proof of your compassion and passions to persevere no matter what was happening. And to channel goodwill,faith and hope despite all odds took a man with an amazing heart and soul of precise charm, charisma and blessed commitment to excel and to proudly display your wares of bravery, wisdom, maturity and virtue so versatile. Serenity, freedom and diligence came with a steep value, a monumental sacrifice most would not comprehend yet the jobs were undertaken accomplished and your various earthly missions and journeys were fruitful until your last breath always to be loyally saluted and paid treasured homage for validating your vigilance over us. Keep watching over your family and the entire population where unselfish and unending devotion, grit and dedication was trusted and truthfully exercised according to scruples and conduct set forth. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
