Human beings have infatuations and expectations. Men and women who don uniforms and wear badges of humility,heart and character are angels who may at some point have to make the ultimate sacrifice to see serenity, safety and security through until the end. Integrity and dignity have to serve with pride and the honored commitments you represented, Officer Cook, they shall be remembered and etched within your family's hearts, minds and souls. Their adventures and virtue are a part a living part of their dedicated lives, to steer and guide them on paths and trails of truth and righteousness. No one was better than yourself at calming and resolving domestic conflicts it's truly a disgrace what Mr. Pearsall did that day to you and your fellow officers, the civilians who were hurt by his vile and venomous lack of character and respect for authority. I hope Officer DiGenova and Officer Edgerton have happy days and to their families and yours, the Wilkerson and Tidwells a happy and healthy Easter. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Life goes on somewhere up in the deepest of blue skies you are watching and smiling as they carry the torch of your tenacity.
