The serenity of a peaceful and happy environment is what our society is all about. Police doing a most meaningful and dangerous job with honor and proficiency. We, the people being passionate in all our pursuits in life. Sure makes a vast difference then when violence pours its venomous and vile ugliness upon us. You devoted yourself, Officer Cook, to those peaceful and unified pursuits that were your aspirations in life. Growing up in North Miami Beach, Florida you learned your lessons on decorum and decency from your beloved folks and so too your composure, consideration, integrity and the dignity of all who shall live. In Dade County we who remember your courage and mettle so salute your visions, wisdom and the leadership roles you took on as an additional responsibility. Leading and motivating other comrades is not easy nor simple, but working with values and morals, a fine gentleman of character succeeded in at least derailing some of this wanton violence, the very sinister evil from a depressed, distraught and diabolical young man who perpetrated tragedy that took you from among your family, peers and friends. Our hero and savior of humility and the highest regard toward humanity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. The conclusions of cornerstones are that they lie in the concrete of your sacred and heroic actions, Officer Cook. A man of respect, authority and the precise preservation and perseverance that shall stand forever. I'll keep praying for you, Mrs. Cook. You were a reverent and most God fearing woman.
