View all 162 ReflectionsTrust and truth only can forever enhance our very mankind when honor, dignity and integrity comprehend their important assignments. You understood what your sacred oath meant to you, Officer Cook and to the people of Dade County where onus and intuition was catapulted upon your broad shoulders of heart, soul and humane humbleness. A gentleman who served and protected as all servants must and who now occupies an angelic role above walking his beat to steer us clear from the very harm that took your youth and manhood away from you and your loved ones who bare the grief, anguish and sorrow over losing you way too early. Rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero.
