Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
Remorse and regret only allow sorrow and grief to stay longer. Families who lose a loved surely languish in anger, their sadness lingers on as the years pass before their eyes. Your family, Officer Cook, is educated and clearly resourceful enough to take opportunity further never missing a beat and moving forward with their humble agendas in life. Their guidance is coming from the Lord who has sheltered your passionate soul of honor and humility. " Uncle Bo" as you were known has never left them in spirit as your physical being was returned to the Earth from where you came. All your family has to do and so many others have done it is look up at the sky by day or night it's the light of your soul as it continues to illuminate our world and so does your character. It's very much implanted in all their successes and desires to be good and honorably capable men and women. I surely would love to know how your mother, Mrs. Julia Cook,is doing these days. You'll always be in my heart and prayers Mrs. Cook. I will never forget your beloved and darling son, your family's hero, Officer William Coleman Cook, Badge#1664. Nor will I forget your beautiful letter you wrote to me. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, Officer Cook.

Futility is not rewarded. Fortitude and fruition are though. In life sometimes a little more ferocity is what is necessary. To fight what ails society you need humble, honest and able bodied men and women of stamina and acumen sorting through these maze of mayhem and mischief. Terror, evil and violence unleashing hell upon a relatively civil society that still encounters wickedness brought on by wanton individuals who lack the integrity and intellect to direct their character and integrity to a far greater destination. Dade County was your place, Officer Cook, home where you grew up and appreciated the finer things in life. Only the best and a most revered and nobly humane gentleman. Gallantry and grace corroborated your entire life and career of public service. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
