We must not plummet in the abyss of evil, our resolve must be tighter than a guitar and its strings. Quiet, peace and safety must somehow be drawn together by the guises of gallantry, humility and the honesty by which one speaks the truth. You were a trustworthy and devoted officer, Officer Cook, a pleasure for all your sisters and brothers all brave and confident who teamed up with you and your undying tenacity. Evil and terror must be stopped in its tracks, with character and the quality of good values it was. You performed that sad day of May 16, 1979, with a clear mind and the acumen of a revered hero. Enhancement will have its pathways directed by your loving soul from God's divine nest where only angelic heroes and heroines all measured perfectly in bravery and in conviction. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Officer Cook, you were very much loved and admired by your family, comrades and friends. Nothing more sadder than you being absent and missing out on all your family's happiness. There is spiritual peace in the next world, valor and desire found its way home. But still tragic your loss to humanity where you tried to secure rational meaning and the compassion we all look for.
