Dignity, honor, heroism and truth must never be dimmed, diluted nor tarnished in any way,shape or form. One least bit of change surely impacts mankind and its integrity and character will then be under the greatest of fires. Evil,wickedness and violence will then be allowed to roam and romp around all communities placing innocent lives in peril. Danger is a literal ticking time bomb to tranquility and to all sacred purposes, their destinies, journeys and missions of goodwill, faith and hope that must be allowed to move forward. You performed your earthly responsibilities, Officer Cook, with a supremely humane touch. Your heart and soul the embodiment of upholding harmony and uplifting our happiness,joy and peace of mind. Dade County won't overlook nor shelve your life and career sacrificed for the good of the world. Truth and resolve lie at the door waiting to be openly and candidly greeted. Heaven has both welcomed and greeted your spirit of vigilance, virtue and versatility may you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
