Dear Brigitte, Wayne and Family,
There are No words that can Express how sadly we feel for your whole family. You are the loving, caring, nurturing, fun, happy, patient and thoughtful parents that Cody chose as his own. We know you feel blessed to have had him in your lives, but he too had been blessed. The lessens he has helped teach you and your extended family are far too many to list, even in his short time here on earth. May God help heal your aching hearts and fill your minds with nothing but happy memories of your beautiful baby boy. He is running and singing joyfully, finally free from all earthly constraints.
To the McDuff family and Darlene, very sorry to hear of your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with Cody and everyone who knew him, sending love to your family in this difficult time and again deepest sympathies to your entire family
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Cody was a wonderful young man who knew what he wanted and how to get it. He had the biggest smile and greatest laugh that was infectious to everyone around him. He will always hold a special place in my heart and I feel honored that I had the privilege to be a part of his for a little while. ♡
