Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook
A study of greatness modeled after honor and humbleness make a man or woman prideful of their professional duties. You took your leadership and dedication very seriously, Officer Cook, integrity and respect matter as much as character and dignity when one is out on the street fighting for freedom and security while you gave all heart and spirit to Dade County to be fortified in God's serene chambers of valor. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Steadfast and tackling those onuses quite excellently as a humane and humble hero of esteem and bravery. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
