Young lives of dignified men and women who serve and preserve all cut way too short by this never ending stream of real violence with evil so rotten to the core. At least the borders and boundaries of all Dade County were significantly sealed and secured by your humble, honored and graceful esteem, Officer Cook. Badge#1664 was all heart, integrity and character of a considerate and loyal man. The residents really appreciated your kindness, heroism and thoughtfulness, Officer Cook. A real mensch, a real man of wisdom, ability and the humility to calm down those whose emotions ran high. Heaven is like that library in the sky perfectly quiet and where only the humblest of blessed angels of valor patrol and watch over us. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. A mensch by the way is the Jewish expression for a person, a human being with all class, decency and purely driven desire to succeed mightily.
