Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

A public servant who is heroically supreme and superior is quite declarative. You, Officer Cook, were born with a heart and soul of both destiny and passion but being compassionate also allowed you to patrol Dade County with unselfish, unwavering and unrelenting character, conviction and commitment to see that its citizens were afforded safety, security and serenity to live their lives. Your family, friends and comrades will never forget the angel who served, preserved and saved their lives that tragic day. I spoke on Sunday to Officer Keith DiGenova, your heroic friend, colleague and partner he shared some bad news as your comrade and friend, Officer Robert Edgerton passed away a month ago. All very sad as the two of you are angels looking down on your true and trustworthy families as they travel down trails of perseverance and pursuits of enriching lives. You enhanced mankind with faithful devoted and most diligent professionalism to humanity. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
