Cody was my best friend, Karen Woodbury's cousin. I met Cody years ago, being around The Stokes's family. Last year, Linda drove Cody to SC on their way to Florida. Karen and I were able to see them. We enjoyed a meal together, well Cody didn't each much, he was excited to share pictures with Karen. It was my first time to meet Linda and it felt like I had known her as long as I did Cody. Linda, my heart goes out to you during these difficult days ahead. Thank you for all the love and care you gave Cody. Cody, rest in peace my friend.
