A bulge does not always seem normal. Violence is that storm that once it gets kicking is hard to contain. Big and tall. Short and a little heavy, just so long as they can handle the rigors and are honest, dependable and loyal to their comrades. Directions take us in different routes. Promise takes people far so long as dignity and integrity don't escape the big picture. You got it, Officer Cook. You received the messages and heeded your supervisors who knew you capabilities of intelligence were ahead of others. Never lack of modesty or bravado. Always true to form and to your words of trust and truth which accomplished making Dade County and its folks sturdy once again. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero .

Earn a bit, spend a little. You must earn your respect in order to give back admiration. One must go through the rigors in order to cope with the duress and stress of the occupation. Police work is not for everyone. Those who think they have an honest bone and a strong interior may start that marching in the academy. They toughen up a recruit so that when they graduate theri dignity and loyalty are exactly where integrity id required to be. You summoned the courage, Officer Cook and found yourself surrounded with loyal partners here in Dade County. Freedom and unity all the result of a proud and yet humane sacrifice that has all the eyes that mourned your tragic loss flowing with tears.

Sadly, this past March 7, 2019, your beloved mother, Mrs. Julia Cook, passed away at the tender age of hundred and three and a half. I say tender, more properly at her age with a life full of character, honesty and the virtues of belief in God, goodwill and faith. Her dignity and integrity were instilled in both yourself, Officer Cook and your big sister, Nancy. They all missed you terribly these last forty some years. You were that super glue that kept your family unified during tragedy and helped to mend those fences here in Dade County where its residents relied upon your skills and heroism the most. Saying goodbye to a reputable and resourceful man of legendary humility and the serenity for which you discharged your professional duties. All difficult, life is never easy. Nothing is just handed to even the smartest and most mature of public servants. Tears reigned down that Saturday afternoon at your Inspector's Funeral at the Cathedral of St. Mary's. She was blessed and so forever is your immortal soul of vitality and vision. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Long life is granted to those humble and pious. Her missions of faith and resilience and her volunteer work at Sabal Palm Elementary school in North Miami Beach, Florida where you and I attended kept her mind and body sharp as I'm sure she took great care of herself.
