A twenty-one gun salute to a fallen angel of valor, honor and precise dignity and integrity. Twenty-one added together makes three. God, your home and your job, your employer, Dade County, Officer Cook, had the gladness, the galvanizing torch of tenacity, the guiding hands of humbleness touching their very hearts and souls for six of your twenty-five years of life, one cut way too soon by evil. The sad part is your family and the young man who took you had something in common. Being a drifter and a deserter is never a good thing considering he had a girlfriend and a child. Your loved ones were devout, faithful and down to earth even as the loss of you was being realized. Acceptance makes a heart grow fonder, though I don't know if they forgave the man responsible for you not being alive today and living a clean and healthy retirement with your beloved Karen, your staunchest supporter along with Nancy and your mother who was alive to mourn her beloved Billy, her hero and darling son so concerned for his mom's welfare and well being.

Most recognize you did not have to answer that call you can put that in your rear window because you and your last partner, Reserve Officer Scott Lincoln were going to that scene because your ingenuity, integrity and dignity would never permit to leave the people affected and your partners who too were wounded to stay there battling for their own souls. Obviously, this man had no reverence for authority and he would have committed the most heinous act if allowed that cannot ever be when the public is in harm's way of its freedom and peaceful movement. Everything you did that day, Officer Cook, was done with class, proper character and the basic commitments of excellence and pride.
