Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Grief is never too good for the soul and neither is anguish nor torment as they open the still fresh cavities opened by undue violence and bloodshed. Families just endeavor to cope with the untimely loss of a beloved family member. Time we ponder and think can heal these wounds that only evil and wickedness can sporn. You were a heroically grand man, Officer Cook, fruitful and yet faith, responsible and very able to handle the rigors of a dangerous position where life hangs in the balance. Never too much and never too little. Compassion lies where passion awaits. Your feverish humility, honesty and dignity stood at the gates waiting for integrity to march straight in. Always treasured and admired for coolness under pressure and the match up morals to properly act in sync. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
