Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

I just read the story of a Washington ,DC Officer, Martin I. Donovan, age twenty-eight shot and killed in 1964 because his uniform "bugged" someone. Terrible sadness for his family and terrible heartache and enormous grief for your family,Officer Cook. A heroically honorable angel resting in peace under God's green soil of courage and humility. Dade County was certainly well guarded, received and protected by your skills and passions. Everyone got the very same kindness, integrity and the decency of your dignity right to their own heart. Yours, my neighbor, friend and hero was instrumental and fundamental in its exploits of energy, efficiency and tireless inertia. Never ever overlooked nor forgotten and righteously honored with salutes of homage for remaining humble and loyal to all challenges. Your colleagues surely enjoyed their pursuits partnering with you,Officer Cook, a hero, warrior and a truly trustworthy human being.
