Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Take heart. Service was coming when you raced to that tragic scene that day, Officer Cook. You and Reserve Officer Scott Lincoln making a difference. All your character and wisdom on the line to save lives. All the honesty and dignity nestled around the community of Dade County to deliver goodwill and secure missions for us all. Always cherished and respected for humility that befit humanity. A hearty and healthy salute. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Character and clutch courage and truth when seconds mattered the most.

Nobility is just not a novel way of life. Far better off to be brave and decent, humble and honest, keep integrity funneling in at all moments. Never a worry about you, Officer Cook. As you handed your responsibilities with awesome acumen and very good awareness. Your eyes and ears were turned to the pulses of Dade County and most well received by their people. Our senses of direction and desire were part of your most skillful repertoire. Always loyal and esteemed, faithful and full of tenacity when seeking quiet and safe journeys for us all. A legacy with strong foundations of fruition and cornerstones of concern, caring, consideration and courage like a lion. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

History should not repeat itself. Violence and turbulent times shall never unseat humanity's decency. But it happens sadly, tragically and for no logical reasons whatsoever. Your untimely passing in the line of duty, Officer Cook, represented a sacrifice of more than courage and character. It did not tarnish your uniform and badge of dignity and authenticity. It only made our resolve a part of your heroic life and gave all the definition to the words dignity and stellar integrity. Having the gumption to join forces with other fine and most accomplished men and women to complete a task of tremendous onus. And to unseat evil on Dade County's behalf saving life and giving back harmony and togetherness where they belong. You were and always will be your family's glue whose warrior like mentality challenged other to find their niche in life where humility, sanctity and nobleness exists. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Turn the page and you will locate all the reasons, Officer Cook, as to why you were yearning and persevering, never dishonest nor heaven forbid untrustworthy. Dade County seldom has seen the likes of a refreshing man of commitment and conviction who wrapped his unique intellect around the problems that confront, confound and at times confuse mankind. At age twenty-five the ceiling was high and your integrity and dignity shining like a polish diamond. A hero of humility who kept the wheels of justice well oiled and moving smartly through the streets where you risked your life to preserve and protect the public interest. The honor roll of Our Master unfortunately seem to keep increasing. Men and women with more hunches. All brave and intelligent heroines and heroines who have magnified God's perfect fortress as they their next eternal roles of resourcefulness. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

The clock should never have ceased running, Officer Cook. As your life and humble career as a public servant toward Dade County had much more left to achieve. Though, during your twenty-five years of living and nurturing relationships you accomplished more than some who live to that ripe age of being a centenarian. It was 2:11pm, when you were violently taken from your adoring family and colleagues, time does not stand still. It's your honor and gallant actions that dignified your integrity on behalf of those wanting peace and resolve. A candid and upfront individual who cared for his community and demonstrated the highest degree of character and humbleness for mankind. Saluted and never forgotten. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. I think in some police jargon, a 2-11 is an armed robbery. Well your family and country were heinously robbed of your handsomeness and beautiful smile. It's heaven's gift for having you as a Godsend and as a warrior of a heroic legacy. They are not to be passed over nor just skimmed at!

The ones who devote themselves to staying the courses of bravery, boldness and honesty, keep the flames of integrity and dignity burning brightly forever in their souls of humility and humane character. And you, Officer Cook, are always going to recognized as a genuine man of wisdom,truth and trust. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
