I had the pleasure of being Cody's 9th grade algebra teacher and I loved every minute of it. Cody was fun, smart, witty, and always held his own. This is such a shock and too sad for words but I am praying for the family everyday. God Bless you all.

Julie - Wish there was some magic word, but that won't happen. What a sadness! Holding you and your family in prayer. May you find consolation in drawing near to the Lord, who saw His dearly loved Son die on a cross for the sins of people who were not really interested. God bless you.

Dan and Julie,
I was Cody's English teacher in 9th grade. I remember that he always had a smile when he came in my room. Although I haven't seen him since he was a student of mine, I will always remember him. I am so sorry you are in so much pain. My prayer is that God will comfort you and give you His much needed strength.
