Reflections for Police Officer William Coleman Cook

Never more beloved. Always compassionate and most considerate. Tension and stress just add fuel to a hero's belly where the fires burn bright. For accomplishing what you did in twenty-five short all too short years, Officer Cook, may Our Maker shine His glory upon your sweet soul of honor, courage and the respect that dignity, integrity and character all deserve. Dade County and your family deserved to have you here today, God needed your reverence in His gates of sacred and humanely heroic actions as all His angels who now and forever fly higher every second. Sorry is an easy word to say. Just conveying that to your peers and loved ones won't bring you back. You are smiling though and that day will come when your family reunites with you and your beloved parents. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
