Today, Officer Cook, is a most profound and somber day for the Jewish nation. And since you were honorable, devout and faithful, your heroically immortal would understand some of the significances of the day. A day in which our Holy Temple was breached and destroyed. For those who fast and give to charity it's the culmination of a three week period of mourning. We pray that baseless hatred bias, bloodshed and bigotry are no longer a by-product of what our society unconditionally represents. You stood for humility and dignity all the result of having the quality of character and integrity that you utilized to the utmost to protect Dade County and for which you remain cherished and admired. Heroes and heroines are never to be overlooked, forgotten or placed aside where the dust and clutter gathers around. The opposite, they are to be revered, remembered, celebrated and duly and humanely saluted for instinct and ingenuity for having the valor and vision to wisely seek out peace not have to battle evil as you did in an unrelenting, undying, unselfish and unwavering manner. One individual that terrible day struck a violent note and took your life of promise and sacrifice away from your loved ones, friends and colleagues, as well as the community you set out to preserve and to watch constantly over. Our Creator has your spirit, heart and goodwill tucked safely away for everlasting eternity where your blessings and rewards are for going beyond the calls of duty and responsibility. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Today, every soul mourns and for you, Officer Cook, everything is a little less safe by your absence. You watch over those men and women who succeeded you and have been an inspiration of what is required to persevere when pain, torment and anguish gang up on mankind.
