Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Fierceness strikes a chord of ferocity like no other. Tenacity on the other hand supports the resolve of one who is brave and honorable enough to fight through the dust of wickedness. It causes shambles and ruins the sturdy foundations of humble fruition. You battled, Officer Cook, unafraid and undaunted by this monster of an adversary. Dade County was well represented by your humane and giant stature of security, serenity and safety. It all balances out in the end as a means to creating harmony and tranquility among all good law abiding citizens. You were a tremendous asset to your department and those highly brave and esteemed colleagues who respected and admired your devotion and loyalty to them. The care you offered, the compassion and consideration within your heart of courage, the spirit of goodwill and loving concern, it says it all. God knows and does watch over your soul and that of your fellow brothers and sisters who have made that ultimate sacrifice. If only those who commit this wanton violence and its offspring of evil would finally give up and surrender. Capitulation at times is difficult, it can and must happen very soon. Sometimes I think our world is like a ticking time bomb about to explode. Terror, treachery and torment must cease for the peace, hope and faith of the people who choose to live freely and pursue their happiness and freedoms. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Resiliency builds resolve. Boldness constructs bridges for other humble and humane public servants to pass under. Rhetoric does not build nor construct. It comes at a price and costs time and effort and takes away from the tasks at hand. The tenacity made through unwavering courage and honor.

You possessed a strong sense of awareness and agility to carry out your service and patrols in and around Dade County fruitfully and faithfully tried to tie the knots of peace and unity together.

In God's courtyard lies many righteous and divinely humane angelic public servants who got it. They understood their essential undertakings. If you listen and endeavor, God works His wonders. This world is too important to allow the significance of evil to perpetuate its corridors. You spotted and stopped mayhem the only way you knew how, face to face. We must not allow ourselves to be prisoners of fate and fickleness.
