Its been almost 8 years and not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you, to wonder how and what life would be like if you were still here with us today how much you would of seen and how much more you would of known. To see you grow into more of an amazing person and man, and father, we will never know but I do know you are still looking down on us and watching us every single day. Keep riding that bike and keep smoking them J's. We miss and love you so much CODY Alan West. RIP big brother until I see you again.

Dear Tina and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed visiting with Cody so much. When I waited for the grandson at Willard, Cody would visit with me. We always had a few good laughs and I will remember them. He was so proud that he was going to graduate. You could tell by the smile on his face. Take care of yourself. It's so hard to think about yourself, when you lose a child. Your Grandson will comfort you a lot. Love to all. Ron,Judy, Ronni,Aaron and Jennifer Smith.

Very sorry to read of the passing of your dear loved one Cody. He was so young with so much more to give and get in life. Life is such a precious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. I am writing to share a few words of comfort and encouragement from the source of truth the bible.
God holds out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11:25 Jesus said "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCISES FAITH IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE."
The nine accounts of ones in the bible who were resurrected are a guarantee that the resurrection of others is possible. God can bring back the dead he holds within his perfect memory. (John 5-28,29) What a blessed reason to hope in God!
With the gift of your memories of Cody they will bring you great joy. When a loved one becomes a memory that memory turns into a treasure.
Talking, writing, and reading the information in the bible about the resurrection will help with the grieving process.
May you and yours lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad time. (Psalms 83-18)

Tina, we have known each other for many years and have been friends for a long time. Call me if you want to talk I will be here for you. No mother sould have to go through what you have. You now have your own personal angel watching over you. When you see a rainbow think of him and the good times you had together. Cody was a good kid and he will be missed. Know that no matter how long we go without talking I am still here for you and you can call me. There is no words that can be said to change what has happened. Look me up I will be here for you.

God Bless You!
