An onus of esteem and bravery honorably carried out by a master of grand virtue and valor. Dade County and its people sleep sounder today and now by your heroism and humble compartments of concern, kindness and consideration for humanity. Tragic and terrible that all ended in a few minutes of ghastly violence perpetrated against you and your colleagues. A shame Mr.Pearsall did obey your commands.

If you are alive and well today, Mrs. Cook, wherever you reside may you live in devoutness and loyalty. As your beloved son, "Billy," was this example to so many people. Your darling and brave loved one served and saved Dade County as you know over forty some odd years ago . With his ever present smile and uniquely sharp mind and clear perspective, he and his colleagues tried on May 16, 1979, to stop an evil man from harming his girlfriend and other members of society. He went to that scene with his last partner on this Earth and because of his heroic actions lost his life. A life and career dictated on virtues of excellent character and sheer integrity and diligence. His desire and dignity has been and always will be humanely and stoically remembered. Never a finer human being. You and Mr. Charles W. Cook raised two wonderful children including your beloved Nancy, his big sister who never forgets her brother's gifted wings of encouragement and enhancement.
