Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Public servants bare the brunt of the dangerous and most evil of human beings as they try and pursue peace and stability for their communities while risking their own lives of decency, humility and exposing their hearts and souls of honesty, integrity and dignity so we shall live to watch another sun rising. God gave you twenty-five years, Officer Cook and what a gift of joy and pleasure you were to your parents and sister as well as being Karen's soulmate. Just a tragedy to have that ripped from them as you surely had more left to accomplish. For fortitude and dedication, perseverance and unwavering faithfulness and most unselfish character, commitment and conviction may Our Master cradle you in His arms of mercy, compassion and perfection forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
