How can you smile and out on a happy face? You can be a leader, motivator and yet a pupil with a thirst to soak in as much knowledge as possible and be gratefully genuine which you were for six years of service to the residents of Dade County, Officer Cook. Your family's warrior, hero and honored servant who more than galvanized gallantry demonstrating that energy, heart and endeavor move than steer humble integrity and dignity. They are faced such a rotten man bent on revenge with such a warped mind. I'll never understand how you reside with three generations of family members and don't have a hint of humility, respect and decency? Yours, Officer Cook, was never tarnished and forever carries the Cook,Tidwell and Wilkerson Family names uplifting and upholding a community and venue you only looked forward daily to enhancing and enriching by tireless and unselfish professionalism.
