Turtles go back into their shells for protection. Citizens can retreat into their castles for safety. Police can't just ride away forgetting their solemn affirmations to serve and to preserve the public trust. Your word, Officer Cook, your honesty and integrity meant all the difference that day and everyday. You labored on behalf of Dade County where you continue to be humbly, heroically and humanely etched in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. There is no consolation. Only condolences over your untimely death at the hands of a madman with a scarred and callous heart. Yours gave and gave humanity more humility and character than if you had lived to be one hundred. Your mother, Mrs. Cook, if she is still alive and well at the tender age of one hundred and three has a daughter, your big sister, Nancy and of course yourself, her darling "Billy." Pious and reverent, respected and respectful. For some it's hard to facilitate. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero. Our Master in heaven with His gallant group of heroes and heroines, perfection is now reached and eternity can extol your virtues, Officer Cook. You were one brave soul! Your mom's faith and devotion have surely sustained her all these decades after your dad, Charles passed, may he too rest in peace and after your sacrifice. It never should have come to that. But, peace and security are what you represented and enriched righteously.

Replicas are likenesses. You cannot duplicate desire, dignity and integrity all alone. Every woman and man called must seize the moment and summon the power to act justly and smartly.

You did, Officer Cook, though very sadly on May 16, 1979, you were taken by a surge of violence at one berserk man's hands. Just terrible! Humility and resolve ripped apart by a lowlife of an individual, very heinous! Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
