Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Whenever I visit your grave, Officer Cook, not only do I place something down on your stone, but, I try and keep the ground around it looking respectful. After all you came from respect and honor where manners, courtesies and politeness were always extended to your guests. The Cook household was where you learned your dignity, integrity and the values of ideal character and commitment. You said something it was your bond. Your affirmation to protect and serve Dade County meant all the world in having sufficient safety, security and serenity. Three words never easy for any heroic and resourceful man or woman to produce. But, on a daily basis round the clock they must be endless and embellished. Heaven's gates have that and of course your virtuous soul walking that pristinely perfect beat year round as we salute your unselfish and unwavering valor. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
