Each day has its challenges and tests. God sees and hears wants us to behave like civilized individuals. This world is too set in certain ways to continue going astray and out of focus.

The best of the finest. A public servant serving society with all his heart, soul and moxie. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Violence is that wildfire that whistles out of control if not contained promptly. You helped to quell a disturbance, Officer Cook, that spun out of kilter.

Always the same humility and honesty applied to your directions of dignity and integrity. You left behind, Officer Cook, wonderful memories and the sadness just won't disappear. Never forgotten for valor and maturity. Take care of those you welcome into Our Lord's lair of esteem and trust. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
