Thank you Officer Cook for your duties. May you rest in peace and may god bless your family.

i remember what it felt like when i received the news of my husband's death. i know the pain that absolutely rips your heart out. i often think about days when i felt like i couldn't take one more step, or when i felt like the wind had been completely knocked out of me. i am so sorry for your loss and wish that you did not have to walk this road. remember, though, that he was and always will be a hero, and that it truly takes someone very special to go to work day in and day out, knowing the risk, yet rising to the call. you have much to be proud of. though it doesn't seem like it now, you'll make it through - one day at a time, step by step. may it help in some way to know that officers and their families from all across the country are praying for you.

grace and peace to you,

First of all i would just like to thank all of the officers who have sent their prayers and support. Charlie was one of those rare men, a man of quiet strength, of undying modesty and dedication, and unquestioned loyalty. He was a good man through and through, a true cop, and a doting husband and father. May we never forget his sacrifice, may we never forget his voice. I have had no higher honor than serving beside him. He was the best of us.
