The scope of one's sincerity goes a long way to the core and passion behind their convictions. Police work is not easy nor is it delicate. It demands a respectful approach and the right person navigating around a given venue with vigilance and that right frame of tenacity, courage, honor and integrity. Brevity can stay behind. Evil requires every ounce of one's strength from their heart as you so faithfully displayed, Officer Cook. You executed your official duties in a reliable and responsible fashion helping to serve and handover serenity and the peace that we deserve. Because of your unselfish heroism, so may you be honored and sincerely saluted for going over and beyond what is expected of our saviors. All warriors in heaven, brave angelic heroes and heroines walking that gentle beat in God's pastures of perseverance. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. A legacy filled with success and achievements. Nothing can take away from your class, desire and solid determination, Officer Cook. A man on a mission to free society of its wicked burdens.

Yesterday, Officer Cook, I delivered a humble message to a synagogue in Pembroke Pines, Florida. It was related
to the Parkland shooting and I got choked up and nearly broke down in tears. I thought of you and the heroic sacrifice you made on Dade County's behalf. So much respect and admiration for your position. The perils you faced everyday, it really does humanely take honesty, good morals and the classrooms of integrity and dignity as neighbors to make your endeavors stand tall and purposeful. You were a gallant man, Officer Cook, a gentleman

Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. A good man whose ferocity was his fruition. Your destiny has been righteously sheltered forever.

That fateful day last week at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school where a former student burst on the premises and gunned down seventeen students, teachers who were heroes for shielding those under fire, you had a Broward Sheriff's Deputy at the location, yet he did not go in there and in Sheriff Scott Israel's words, address the killer and take him out. He resigned and promptly retired from the department. The greatest danger is when duty calls and not to act as you have been trained. After all, Officer Cook, you were a humble hero who responded to a domestic dispute even though you were not dispatched. But then again those true characteristics came through. Honor. Dignity. Integrity. Commitment to see peace and quiet effectively carried out. It was and Dade Count y and your colleagues have not ever forgotten your humble heroism and the humility by which those righteous and dedicated live their lives. Your professionalism that moment, Officer Cook, was displayed nationally and to the entire world. A senseless loss of an excellent and loyal public servant. Preservation with a renowned ferocity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Thank Our Lord when we feel the need to protest and vent against violence and there is a proper place to do exactly that. You performed just as you were trained to, Officer Cook and by saving those civilians and your comrades you struck a balance between injustice and the firmness by which proper justice is carried out. Dade County was left with an empty feeling when you were taken from us. Everthing to live for. A beautiful wife. a loving mother and devoted sister and relatives all proud and happy you were doing what you dreamed to pursue.

The passion for compassion allows one the humility to humbly go out on patrol and endeavor to stabilize the peace and life of all citizens. Dade County was your venue, Officer Cook, where your character, commitment and convictions followed close behind your dignity, honesty and the core requirements of having integrity when trying to resolve dilemmas that pose a danger to our society. Whatever message needed to be passed along, it was gallantly and with a purpose. Really sad that your journeys and missions in your career and life came to a sudden stop because of a young man's tendency to commit violent acts against police and those citizens whom you faithfully provided excellent service to. You are to be saluted and honored for securing humanity's serenity and peace. What a price to pay! You are never out of my thoughts and your mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, should live and be well at one-hundred and two. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
