Too much hate and evil that seems to perpetuate around a world that should be sweet and loving. The peace and tranquility seem not to translate as they should and yet the world and Dade County was blessed by your stoic nature, Officer Cook. God gave you to your family for twenty-five years and never were they disappointed. For in every hero we find a unique quality that stays etched in our hearts and minds. A gentleman of ideals and integrity, honor and dignity that helped humanity get a handle on this revolting run of nothing but torment and kayos.

Since we are the freest world then benefit of doubt should be given to everyone. That is unless you have a proclivity to committing the worst of violence. You stopped problems, Officer Cook, before things got worse and on May 16,1979, you did everything the way you were trained along with your partner. You were heroic and humble, honest and humane, dedicated and determined to see things through so that our harmony and pursuits in life would be happy ones. You were entitled to see things beyond the scope of their outcomes and you had more to fulfill, I guess as I've said many times, Our Lord needs His heroes and heroines of conviction and character soundly sheltering those who have paid the ultimate price for liberty. We salute your unselfish commitment and won't forget your gifts to humanity. Humility can silence the loudest of those who talk and don't act. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your bravery, Officer Cook, cemented your legacy here where you continue to be proudly saluted.

Ignorance cannot be put ahead of your routine. Violence is unforgiving and it takes the certain temper to go out and patrol looking for some sense of decency and good grace. Your shining soul, Officer Cook, was very blessed as it served the greatest purpose on behalf of Dade County. It protected and never provoked. I don't know why Mr. Pearsall was bent on destruction and ruining the lives of those sworn to defend our freedoms and liberties. It takes a certain acumen and awareness to carry out daily roles where stress and danger release their evil inclinations upon a society that looks for some sense of dignity. Your principles and dignity, Officer Cook, were top notch and nothing will ever tarnish the badge of boldness and distinction your heroically wore for six years of resilient commitment. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Dawn arrives and another day of challenges. Our Lord put us through vigorous tests to witness if we are up to snuff. Tasks become more difficult.

Words can seem meaningless unless the emotions of humility and humanity touch the very souls of character. Yours, Officer Cook, was heroic, humane and brought down wickedness and for making the ultimate sacrifice may you so be solemnly saluted for wisdom and vision.
