Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
I meant to say, Officer Cook, that your affirmation perpetuated life not perpetrated life. When one perpetrates that can be qualified as a negative and God forbid and I humbly apologize nothing in your heroic and sadly short life robbed by violence was negative. Only accentuation of awareness, acumen and accountability were visualized daily by your fellow officers and Dade County citizens. May you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Character, decency, dignity and integrity were scripted upon your humanely loyal uniform and badge of total bravery to be saluted and forevermore treasured by family, colleagues and a host of many friends who knew a truly wise and honorable gentleman, a disciple of dedication, faith and trustworthy diligence, vigilant every moment.

A friend to all, a brother, son and great-uncle, most of all a cherished and beloved husband to Karen who has been remarried now for fifteen years. May you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero of authority, wisdom and sacred virtue.
