Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Clowning around and horsing around on the public's dime just won't cut the mustard. You need a set of skills that most ordinary people don't possess and the reflexes of a sharp mind that can handle the rigors of danger and stress while saving and protecting the dignity and integrity of all mankind. Your courage and honor, Officer Cook, was surely appreciated greatly during your time watching over the residents of Dade County. Peaceful and serene, helpful and a man with a golden heart for doing the goodwill of a grateful community, one in which you still remain honored and deeply respected. Humanity clarifies a person'e fortitude and for having the proper attitude may the good Lord hold your soul firmly in His palms and arms of compassion as you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Fooling around during moments of terror may result in a loss of life that no one wants.
