Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Waffling and oscillating can never work their charm while focusing on evil. It's straight ahead dignity, honesty and the foundation of integrity. Dreams, goals, realities and aspirations cannot even start to take shape until truth and trust are held accountable. You had a very difficult job, Officer Cook, along with your host of comrades in serving and in protecting Dade County. Fierce battles and perilous times sadly greeted you and your fellow servants. But, like everyday you were optimistic and resigned to getting down to the basics and completing your assigned tasks at hand. Never a moment of doubt crept into your brain. You were affixed on the target and that was to seize terror and remove its jaws from clamping down on the safety and security of a community that admired, revered and cherished your character, conviction and bold commitment to pride and excellence. Lucid and transparent must be the themes and goals of the humble, humane and heroic who practice and preach certain methodologies. Humanity is the source from where their good cheer flows. Humility stays in their heart until the day when God calls them home to that perfect venue where honor and bravery are capsulized. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
