Cody had the ability to speak to your heart, even though he never spoke a word. He could light up a room with his smile, which could always turn anyone’s bad day around. He was pure love and will be missed by all those who knew and loved him. Cody came into this world a fighter and left the same way. He was simply amazing.
Cody had two special caregivers for the last couple of years, named, Denise Baldwin and Jessica Fuller. They loved and cared for him as if he was their own and Cody loved them just as much. Your love and kindness knows no bounds. We would like to thank the doctors and nursing staff at the Glens Falls Hospital, Tower 5, for all their caring support.
