Missy,
Cody was zacs best friend. He will always be remembered as cody rubba grubba. He taught zac all about ramen noodles in a cup, which he had to have every day. His ear to ear smile would light up the whole room, and he will be greatly missed. You, and your family are in our prayers.
Your family will remain in my thoughts & prayers. I only had the pleasure of knowing Cody for a little while, but knew he was a sweet, caring person. I am so sorry for your loss.
Bob and Missy, I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even begin to imagine what your going through, but please know that you are not alone. Every time I think of Cody, I think of that big, beautiful smile on his pretty little baby face when he was little. I have a picture that comes to mind of Cody and Georgie standing together, they were maybe 2 and 4? Cody stood with his chest puffed out and a grin from ear to ear. He could light up a room at that young age! I know it’s no comparison, but I also know what it’s like to lose someone at too young of an age. When Amy passed away, my whole world changed. It helps me to think that she is in a better place, looking down at all of us, and that I will see her again someday. I have said a prayer to her, that she may take Cody under her wing and show him the ropes in Heaven. God Bless both of your families and if you need anything at all, let me know! Again, I’m so sorry for both of you and your families. Love, Heather Laughery Zilhaver
You are in my prayers……
