To screen one from serious harm you have to apply morals and devotion to being dedicated to the causes for which honorable and valiant men and women serve and protect their locales of motivation and leadership. It was right here in Dade County where you began your pursuits of crime and tried enriching all mankind with joy and happiness. That peace and harmony was rudely usurped by a rude and arrogant man who thought taking lives of diligent women and men solve humanity's issues. Your unwavering humility and civility, Officer Cook, kept things low keyed for a while and just terrible what happened to a bright light full of passion and trust. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Truth and resolve will one day sweep violence and evil away for good.

Today is my son Joshua's twenty-second birthday. Tomorrow is thirty-nine years in the Jewish calendar since my dad passed away and Thursday will be forty years since your service, bravery and sacrifice on behalf of all Dade County was made. You performed in an outstanding fashion, Officer Cook, trying to keep bedlam,mayhem and chaos away from our society. Dignity and integrity were faithfully executed that day and for everyday that you breathed. Your life and very cherished soul were sadly snuffed out by one man's rant and rage against establishment. So hard to imagine it was against a genuinely lovely man and gallant gentleman such as yourself, Officer Cook. heaven is the place, the eternal venue where valor and vigilance are brought when Our Maker deems one's faithful journeys as complete. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Character and wisdom were certainly above the board. Your life, Officer Cook, will be poignantly honored and tomorrow I will try and visit your grave, a sacred spot where a hero rests soundly for his undying and unselfish endeavors.

Demons look to raid the crevices of our minds intertwining who knows what.

Your responses, Officer Cook, helped to ward off wickedness on Dade County's benefit. Its citizens can only be so grateful for your heroism and honesty which raised the levels of your resolve, integrity and dignity. You sure were a very cherishe dand admired young man, Officer Cook.

The fiction and fantasies you believe are one thing, better to believe and ascribe to honor, integrity and dignity. The more wisdom, vision and clarity you possess the better your chances against the likes of an enemy such as violence. A great man and a gallant public servant taken way before his time. God saw your missions and goodwill on dade County's behalf as completed and so he transported your heroic, humble and humanely mortal soul of peace to those bluest of skies. Heaven is where perfection is duly noted, saluted and continues watching those pristinely pearliest of gates. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.

Never make rash decisions which can at times lead to regret. certainly avoid repulsive actions which can too lead to retribution. Remorse is one matter, resolve is entirely another. Unsightly and unmitigating evil already rules some parts of our humanity. Your hunches and ingenuity, Officer Cook, took control that awful day though your department and family lost a good man and a most honorable and heroic son due to one man's stampedes of senselessness. Dade County was and still is in good hands. It had your soul of serenity and heavenly tranquility protecting them as well as character and achievement that maturity, wisdom and dignity help in accentuating during tumult and havoc. Always so humble and brave, saluted for valiant actions to bring peace and prosperity to all mankind. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. You never ran nor dodged when wickedness and violence casts its evil eyes on a community where you were so endeared, admired and beloved by all. When trust, truth, fairness and firmness all on the same field the results and outcomes should only be positive to reinforce the finer points of precision and perseverance. Yo u should have been allowed to drive home unscathed and unharmed, Our Creator had other eternal plans for your mortal soul whose spirit lived and breathed comfort and civility.

In fact for displaying poignant dignity, integrity and the characteristic humility your tenacity and bravery will forever be highly saluted. It is found in those virtuous public servants all the enhancement, all the vim and vitality that helped to create an atmosphere of sanctity not animosity.

Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. The seeds of success were firmly and faithfully planted in the Cook household now in heaven to watch over everyone.

Trickery does not gain tenacity. It's honor and trust that make truth and fairness a partner in helping humanity overcome its afflictions that detour the harmony and unity of a community.

Character and the will to survive only scratch the surface of describing your life and career, Officer Cook. Metro-Dade Police Department was honored to have a hero such as yourself fighting and giving your all in energy and efficiency to honorably discharge your sacred obligations toward Dade County and its residents. Your words emanating from your lips were trustworthy, truthful and loyal as you dignified humility and intensity in all your courageousness. Composed, cool and relatively calm during duress and tense moments when violence struck and shook at the heart of peace and togetherness. Domestic violence is no doubt ruining and vile. It caused such a ghastly scene that day you gave your life, Officer Cook, forty years ago and never forgotten. Never overlooked for maturity, wisdom and the vocations of vigilance and vigor. Only now and forever etched on walls of honor and sanctity, the serenity of humility nestled above in God's heroic lairs of angels, heroes and heroines with wings fitted to soar to the highest of destinations. Fate is in Our Creator's palms and gigantic hands of mercy and compassion, exactly as you spoke to mankind, Officer Cook, Our Maker delivered you to His house where your safety would never become an issue forevermore. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. People smoke, eat and drink alcohol as a vice to relieve tension or stress. You prospered to eliminate, eradicate evil and to accentuate the pathways impeded by perturbing petulance.

To capitulate to callousness and to just allow heinousness to huff and puff and blow right through humanity would be akin to giving a baby a fully loaded weapon. No human being worth the salt of this land would stand for this infamy. You were a downright intelligent young man, Officer Cook, fully equipped with integrity, honesty and the core of dignity. Dade County would not be who they are today if not for your identification of character, constraint and commitment to both resolve and excellence. It takes a little pride to carry out duties, tasks, assignments and for that matter whatever humility has laid out for a noble and most heroic gentleman og the highest ethics and standards of professional conduct. Your family, your peers of esteem and bravery and most importantly your family can proudly and most notably continue their exploits and missions of faith and goodwill overseeing your legacy of loyalty, dedication and steadfast leadership to assist others in their endeavors to rid society of evil. You are never forgotten, Officer Cook. And you are to be solemnly, humanely and fondly saluted for enriching character, class, decency and the will to learn and to visualize our serenity and tranquility vital to our journeys moving forward. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Your parents, Officer Cook, are humbly and mighty proud of their darling, handsome and creative son of courage and conviction.

Stoic, yet serious minded enough to attempt to make an indelible impression upon our society. No reservations or hesitations, you were a hero, Officer Cook, with a firm and trusted command of situations as they arose. Dade County since your honorable and humble sacrifice can wake up to a new dawn , though a bit less safer due to your absence from this world and your family members who richly and humanely try to carry out your legacy of serenity, hope and goodwill. Their conscious and hearts will undoubtedly lead them in the right direction with your brave and gallant soul observing from the skies above. You take diligence and sprinkle some humility and sanctity among each other and any worthwhile public servant will be able to eventually travel far down those pathways of solitude and righteousness as you demonstrated so vividly, Officer Cook. Mankind owes Badge#1664 a debt of thanks and salutes your ingenuity, intuitive dignity all comprising your resiliency to fight on in this seemingly never ending war over violence and terror. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
