Michaela and I today

tera bell

December 14, 2014

Codie was the adorable, quiet and polite little boy next door. He grew into a kind and gentle young man. My most vivid memory of him is how he was with my little girl, Michaela, she was about 4 years his junior. He treated Michaela like his own little sister. I could let her go outside with him to play, knowing I did not have to worry about her as long as Codie was with her. Codie was shy, but when he opened up, he was an old soul, full of insight and generosity, and a friendly loving spirit. Codie had the sweetest smile! We (Geri and I and a few other girlfriends) used to tease Codie and Michaela that one day they would grow up and get married, lol. I secretly longed for this to actually come to be. Life happens and took us apart, as we moved out of town after 8 years of being neighbors and friends. But distance couldn't keep these kids apart. Michaela came to me one sad day and said to me she was reading Codie's facebook page, and to her stunned horror, it sounded as if Codie had died. We looked it up online, and sure enough, the worst was true. Going to his funeral was not the kind of reunion we wanted, we had visited a few times in the years after our move, but I wish we had done so much more. You never know when you are going to lose someone you truly love. Let's all make this a lesson in life to love more often, and don't lose someone before you get the chance to tell them how much they meant to you. I will always love you Codie.

I grew up in Modesto for about the first 9 years of my life. The one thing I remember most was my next door neighnors, especially Codie. He was my favorite person growing up. I remember going over everyday excited to see him after school. And almost everytime i came over he'd pretend he was sleeping and scare me when i got close. I also remember all the fun times he would play hide and seek with me and would go swimming, and also would print out pictures of south park characters he created on the computer paint app for me. I will never forget him and always love and cherish the amazing and loving friendship memories he gave my childhood growing up. I love you Codie and will continue to throughout my life, because when I think of my childhood. I think of you. Love Michaela 'Miki' Hancock

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our heart.

As the holidays near and I think about those who will only be with us in spirit, I am reminded of how temporary this life is. it is so important to make sure that we treat each other with the love and compassion that we would show on the last day of someone's life, because it just might be. I think of Codie all the time and love and miss him like crazy. Until we met again xoxo

Codie I only knew you for a very short time. You would come pick up Travis from my house, when you could not find him. I knew you were a good man, making something out of your life. You left this world too soon. But you will never be forgotten, may you look down on your mother and bring her peace in her heart. R.I.P CODIE.

When Codie and Travis were little boys Geri used to bring them to my house and I called Codie Cookie Monster because he would go straight to my antique cookie jar to see if I had baked fresh chocolate chip cookies. He grew into a handsome strong young man and he is missed very much!

October 25, 2014

I never met Codie but have gotten to know him through stories from Geri and Melvin. He was kind, the life of the party, not shy at all, a prankster, fun to be around, loving and handsome. Those are only a few things I've learned and I think Codie and my son, Drew, would have been great friends had they had the chance to meet. I'm sure somewhere they are looking down on us smiling. Thanks to your mom and stepdad I will forever remember you!

why do bad things happen to good people,why are good people pushed over the edge,life is not fair...who is the master of our fate,the captian of our soul...do you believe everything happens for a reason,i do not...Codie was in the middle of his story,where is his happy ending. everyone has a purpose in their life Codies was to have an impact on every life he touched ,you took his body but not his soul and he left an imprint on all those hearts he touched,time does not heal the pain it only helps you cope with it,it is a darkness i can not explain...no matter how many songs i hear or words i write down i can not describe how i feel,alone i sit not knowing when it will stop...if i listen closely i can hear you laughing and i know you are with me in one of the stars smiling and i smile back looking at the sky knowing i will always have a star smiling back at me,and i make a wish in my heart to honor and keep you alive with memories,it has become a part of who i am.i love you i miss you and i will keep looking up...your infectious smile could make anyone smile even cry,a smile is a light in the window of the soul indicating the heart is at home so look down on us and smile ,i will smile back with tears...is it always gonna hurt this bad,maybe life is not supposed to make sense but i will never say good-bye saying good-bye means going away and going away means forgetting,and in my heart you will always shine...

Codie, I have such fond memories of you as a young boy. You were always the kind of student that a teacher loves to teach. Always with an inquiring mind along with an impish sense of humor. I felt very proud of you as you matured and served our country in the military. It is always such a pleasure for a teacher to see former students be successful.

Even though it was difficult for us to understand why you were taken from us at such a young age I believe in my heart that God had a plan for you. God Bless you Codie! You are missed!

It is really hard to believe that Cody passed away. I remember him being a quiet sweet young boy coming into the bowling alley and sitting with Travis while Geri worked. He had a calm disposition and a witty sense of humor.The stories that Geri would come into work telling me about, her boys being boys. That is how I will always think of him.

If you could see me now...

If you could see me now,you wouldn't shed a tear.
Though you may not understand why I'm no longer here.
Remember my spirit, that's the real me.
I'm still very much alive, oh, if you could only see!
I've beheld our Father's face, I've touched my Saviors hand.
The angels all rejoicedas I entered the Promised Land.
Beyond the gates of pearl, I walk on golden streets.
I've touched the gates of heaven, dipped my foot in the crystal sea.
The beauty is beyond words, nothing can compare.
I've seen your mansion, someday I will meet you there.
Allow Jesus to be your guide, His words will show you the way.
So, please, don't cry!
WE WILL MEET AGAIN SOMEDAY!

I Love and Miss you more than words can say!!!

You were more than a friend you were my family, my brother. We grew up together, my mom was your mom and your mom was my mom. Its a blessing that we get to share those memories, all those laughs and good times. We did it all good and bad. I miss you, we all miss you and we'll see you again sometime in the future. Love you Codie

Geri,
I just want you to know that I've been thinking about you and your family since I learn of Codie's death. There are no words I can offer that will make this any easier, but I'm hoping knowing people care will allow you to lay some of the burdens on us. Anything to make you feel better,happier each day that passes by. At such a difficult time.
Codie was a brave man becoming a soldier. I have much Love and respect for him for protecting and fighting for my Country. Codie is a hero!!! He will always live in our hearts and memories.

I didn't know you, Codie, but I knew your mom for the last few years and I know how proud she was of you when you went into the Marines. There are so many crazy things happening in the world today and it takes a lot of courage to volunteer for the military knowing you may end up fighting for our freedom in some place far away. I can see by all these letters here that you were very special to a lot of people and you must have been very brave. I don't know what you saw over in the Middle East but my own son has nightmares to this day and it's been 10 years since he came home from the last tour. My heart aches for you and your family and I pray for peace for your mom especially and also for your wife.

For our grandson and nephew, Codie, Our deepest sympathies to his wife, Ashley, mother, Geri, and brother, Travis. He was a very kind and loving human being who will never be forgotten. He served as a Marine and we will forever be indebted to him for that in fighting for our freedom and most of all, his country. He was a ray of sunshine and his glow touched everyone he came in contact with. So this candle is lit in your honor, Codie, and will never go out as our love for you will continue to shine until we see you again. Love, Grandma (Jessie Bryant) and Uncle Paul and Dianne (Brown)

When I first met you cousin you were so shy and such a tough little guy, but joining our family you kinda had to be ;) but you were always so polite and sweet at the same time. I knew your mom had done a terrific job! Our visits were always too short and too far in between but I was able to see you grow through pictures and stories. When last I saw you I cannot express how proud of you I was! A mere teenager looking after two grown men, I was amazed and impressed by your maturity and compassion and love. What an amazing man you became! Thank you for your service and selflessness. May you rest in peace my sweet cousin. Gone from our world but never forgotten. Love you so much!

Thank you for being you and for serving our country so unselfishly and for becoming the person God created you to be. Say hi to Jesus for me. Love in Christ, Aunt Daisy (Bryant)

I didn't know Codie personaly. only threw working with his Mother at Burger KIng. I remember one night Codie came into Burger King with Travis to see their Mom. He was in his Camos and Geri's face light up like a chrismas tree. Then I remember with tears in her eyes,telling me of her loss. I put my hands over my heart and said I was sorry. Codie will live forever in her heart. Codie, I'm sorry for what happened to you. Thank You for your service as a Marine. Juan

We are together even though we are apart. Connected by heartstrings. I find you'r smile inside to help me with the pain. Where does the pain come from? Motherhood is an intense emotional bond. I have to face the fact that it's not a dream. My head knows what my heart will not accept and all this has taught me the true meaning of sorrow. With a new normal. Moving forward while standing still. I keep you close in everything I am. My eyes fill with tears remembering your eyes full of sparkle and life. One day at a time with sadness in my heart. I want to hold you, look at you, share a smile and a laugh. When the moon and stars reflect their light by night I truly believe it wasn't your time to go. I have no closure and will celebrate and cherish your life...to the end of time! Sending love to you, Mom.

Your birthday brings back memories of laughter and of tears. Of all the celebrations held throughout your precious years. As you're now watching over me, I hope that you can see how much those memories we made mean so much to me. I'll always cherish times we had and smile just at the thought. I hope you know the magnitude of joy your life here brought. On holidays and birthdays it's so hard to be apart. Like everyday that falls between, your memory fills my heart. You're with me now wherever I go, you're a part of all that I do. I'll celebrate your special day, and the gift of knowing you Happy Birthday, I love you! — with Codie Boss.

Dearest Codie, You were bigger than life it self. The world was too small for you. You probably remember me as the mean yard duty at Capistrano, but it was for your own good. Your Mom has the biggest heart, the kindest person who worried about you always. I hope you found your peace. Love, Lisa Nunez-Hernandez

You're My Star, My Dear Codie,

The beam shines down,
The rays so bright,
The stars come forward,
At the dead of night.

I feel you close,
You're always here,
The glow of the sun,
You're my star, my dear.

An angel gained,
A distance apart,
Our friendship lives on,
A place in my heart.

I feel you close,
You're always here,
The glow of the sun,
You're my star, my dear.

A loss like this,
Won't heal too soon,
You light the sky,
The sun, the stars, the moon.

I feel you close,
You're always here,
The glow of the sun,
You're my star, my dear.

I want to Thank You for your service in the Marines and for touching every bodys lives that knew you. I'm so sorry for the torment you endured, Now you are at peace and sleeping with the angels.

It is hard for me to believe it has been over a year since you left us. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you, see something that reminds me of you, or hear someone in our family talk about you! Words cannot explain how much we all miss you! You will undoubtedly always be a part of our family! I hope that you have found the peace that you were looking for!!! I know in my heart that you are looking down at all of us and smiling that special smile that belongs to only you!!! Rest in Peace my nephew, until we meet again always know how very much I LOVE AND MISS YOU!!!

As the final chapter on this book is closed we reflect back on the final days we got to spend with you. There were way too few days! Your untimely passing came much too soon. However we are forever grateful for the memories and the love we have for you will never cease. You will live in our hearts forever. Something happens almost daily that reminds us of you and your actions. You were truly an
"individual" that was unique. As they say "one of a kind". Your spirit lives on and it reflects in the action(s) of
some of your admirers. Rest in peace my dear grandson and don't forget to
dance with the angels. I love you!

In My Memory
Not one single day goes by,
that we don't think of you,
Some tiny thing you might have said,
Some things we use to do. But as the days keep passing by, while you are away from me, I still relive the days you lived...
You're in my memory.

Codie was at our house alot when he was a young little guy and he was the sweetest kid that had a smile that was so cute,it just lite up his eyes and you just wanted to hug him every time you saw it. He never minded as he loved to snuggle. He was a sweet kid that will be forever young.

This is hard for me, and sad for me too. I remember when you came back from boot camp, and you came to see us, and you told me, and taught me about boot camp. You were always so much fun, you were a great cousin, I tell all my friends about you. I miss you, I love you, I think about you with my heart. Love, your cousin, your little buddy Chase

December 10, 2013

I remember Codie mostly from when he was a little boy with a smile that lit up his face! I did not see alot of him as a young man but his Grandmother, my sister Tia, always kept me informed as he matured, and I felt very proud of him when he became a Marine.

HIS JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN
Don't think of him as gone away...his journey has just begun. Life holds so many facets...this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting, from the sorrow and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years. Think how he must be wishing, that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched. For nothing loved is ever lost...and he was loved so much. Love, your Aunt Joanne

Uncle Codie,
I may not have ever met you, but I see you all the time. I can't talk to you yet, I'm just a year and a half years old, but I can hear you talk and sing to me. I can hear you when the planes fly by. Even though I can't talk, I know you hear me. I do not understand why you left, but I know why you will never leave my heart. And I just know one day we will meet. So, until then, my uncle, my hero, my guardian angel. . I love you.

Codie, I didn't have much time to get to know you as good as I would've liked to, but after meeting you the very first time I felt like I already knew you. . Travis's stories of "Me and Codie" helped a lot. I know how much he loves you and I could see why. . you were caring, outgoing, handsome, smart and fun. He would always speak so highly of you and proudly. I remember after Travis and I got married, I went to pick him up at your dads house and there you guys are out front beating the C*** out of each other. . I just thought to myself, "This is going to be a long night!". And I remember the smile on Travis' face. . it matched yours, bigger than ever from ear to ear, laughing and joking . . it was great! The only other time I've seen Travis smile like that was after our daughter was born. I wish you could've met her, Codie. She's beautiful. She looks just like Travis, lol. And don't worry she can already kick some butt! She's tuff. I know you would've been so proud of your brother. He's always been so proud of you. He's a great husband and even better father. I can see why. . .he had such a great brother to look up to and you mean more to him than you'll ever know. I love you, Codie, you will always be our hero. . until we meet again, we'll miss you always.

I never met you
nor knew you,
only heard of you,
though I see the legacy you've left,
and the people you loved.
I've heard you were great,
and believe that it's true,
because only a person so wonderful,
could leave a mark on this world
like you.

There is an angel in Heaven
that's a part of me
It's not where I wanted him
to be
He touched the hearts of
many like only an angel
can do
I would have held him every
minute if in the end I
only knew
So send this hug with a message
to Heaven above
Please take care of my
Angel and send him
all my love.
Although he's in Heaven he
isn't very far away
He's in the sky with the
moon like a night time
shooting star.
Never forget to always remember
I love you
-Momma

If roses grow in heaven
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my nephews arms
And tell him they're from me.

Tell him I Love and Miss him
And when he turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon his cheek
And hold him for a while.

Because remembering him is easy
I do it everyday,
But there's an ache in my heart
That will never go away!!!

I Love and Miss you Codie!!!

The thought of you will always make me smile.
I try to stay strong and hold on to you in the special place I keep you in my heart.
Even though my heart is broken, I keep you there...
I can't say good-bye,
I watch the stars at nite then just breathe day by day.
The Love inside goes with you,
Momma

Dear Codie, you were a very handsome young man. I am sorry I did not get to meet you in person. I have heard so many nice things about you from your mom & Mel my son. It would have been my pleasure to spend time with you, your family is so great , I love them all. Love Joy Wilson

Words cannot bear the weight:
To say we will never forget you does not say what we really mean. To say you are missed means something so much more immense than these words can carry.
There is peace and so much love in remembering the too-short time we shared.
Codie you are gone but never forgotten.
Love Aunt Jodi

Codie, Thank you for fighting for our freedom. We can never repay you for your service. Even though we never got a chance to meet you we could tell by the love in your eyes you touched many people in your life. We know you were a very large part of your mother's life. We can only pray that your memories will enable your mother to grow strong to Live Life & Love Life.

May you rest in peace and keep watching over and protecting your family. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. Thank you again, May you rest in peace <3

It still just doesn't feel real to me. I feel you're still just away on leave and we will all see you again at thanksgiving or Christmas at grandmas house. Things will just never be the same without you cousin. I hope you know how much I love you and how proud of you I always was. You were my first best friend and you took a piece of my heart away with you when you left. I think about you every single day and time just doesn't seem to make it any easier. I pray that you've found your peace and now the only peace of mind I have is knowing that you're up there looking out for me. Love you so much Codie!!!

Codie, I met your mom when I went to work at Capistrano Elementary.I have gotten to know your mom in the short time I have worked at the school and she is one of the nicest and true friends that anyone can ask for. She has not only been a friend, but a great support for me. I am going through some rough times right now and your mom has been there for me when I needed someone to vent with,needed advise,or just have a good laugh! I have gotten to know your brother Travis, his wife and daughter.Your niece is absolutely adorable! I only got to know you through what your mom would tell us about you and you growing up and going to Capistrano Elementary, going to the Marines and what a great young man you became. Please know that your mom is loved not only by her family but by friends too.Your mom will always have a special place in my heart.. Thanks for serving our Country!

Codie, I'm not good at writing, but I wanted you to know how proud all of us are of the wonderful young man you became. We all Love you very much and wish we could have changed the outcome of you'r life. I hope and pray that you have found peace. And know that I Love you'r Mom very much and I will spend the rest of life doing what I can to make her happy. No matter how short of time we had to get to know each other, I lost a piece of my heart when we lost you. I have plans to spend time doing things with the family and it wont be the same without you. i hope you found you'r way to the promise land with the Lord and all you'r loved ones and where we will be together again. We will always hold you in our hearts. You will always be our Hero and never be forgotten. Love, Mel.

Until I see you again, I pray you are in a better place then you thought you were here. I'm not sure where we go in the end, Not even sure if there is a end. But I know there are very few thing's that scare me. And one of them is life after death. You must be fearless in your choice, if there is a Heaven I know you are there. I pray you believed that too. Say Hi to some friends and family for me. My Grandpa Melvin Wilson, John Miller, Aaron Jokema And Mike. I will see you all there, I'm in no hurry but I miss all you guys more than words can explain. This was a soul aching memory to relive, that I'am glad I wrote. I felt you all were here with me helping me grieve while spilling my soul. Remembering you always yours Truly, Chris
