Granny

Cody's sweet granny passed away on Saturday of last week and her funeral was Wednesday.   She was the epitome of kindness and gentleness and Cody loved her very much.   She always had a twinkle in her eye and a smile when he came to see her.  Even after her 4th stroke she would light up when he came around.

If Corey would have been a girl, we would have named him Corie Ann after her and his name would have been a double name so that Corie Ann is what everyone one have called her.    This has been a very tough week for Cody and the entire family.
