Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Pillows are for resting your head. Purgatory is for those callous individuals who think inflicting harm upon society is some sort of game. To them violence is no game, no joke and surely no laughing matter as you were a very studious and serious law enforcement officer, Officer Cook and Dade County relied upon your expertise, your dignified and honest instincts of both vision and wisdom to get them through perplexing difficulties.The wonders of life confound, confuse and sometimes control the human mind. When you were confronted, Officer Cook, all your heroic instincts,decencies and manners kicked in. Just a wonderful young man with a priceless smile gone way too early taken away by the arch enemies of humanity, violence and pure evil. Ungodly and unsightly. Always warmly remembered, treasured and etched within your family and colleagues' hearts, souls and minds. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero of character, commitment and truthfully trusted convictions.
