Tenacity never was selfish and for what you meant to our nation, your community and society as a whole, Officer Cook, may you be so honored and saluted for bravery and boldness like no other. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You steered violence and its disturbances away from us, shielding us and protecting the spirits of one and all. And now as your reward, Officer Cook, God navigates your soul high above watching over those pearly gates, no tricks, no jokes. Forevermore in eternity where no harm, turmoil or harm will ever come between you and Our Creator.
