A hero of humility and hope whose service was legendary and headed for more promising times. The heavens are aglow like the christmas trees in your family's homes. God has been your beloveds strength all these decades later after your sacrifice which has remained the virtue of your character and morally outstanding convictions.

First of all happy holidays to the entire Cook, Tidwell and Wilkerson Families. A sad and somber day in that an honorable and humble hero is in heaven instead of being here to celebrate along with everyone. Your heart and soul won't surely be forgotten.

Forty plus years later, character, commitment to dignity and integrity, the class and decency instilled within your being by your devoted and most beloved parents may they too rest in peace. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Dear to all and certainly determined to end violence and evil on this Earth.
