I kept up with you as you grew even though you never saw me much as an adult, I got to be a part of your life when you were little. As your Aunt, I wish I could've hung out with you and my kids, your cousins and get the chance to meet them. We are mostly in the medical field and advocate. Runs in the family which is nice to see. At least I have good memories.

Our dear Cody we viewed you as another son in our life
You and Paul grew up together, you brought love and laughter to our home. Watching you grow up with Paul was such fun.
Watching you turn in to a Godly, caring, respectful man was an honor.
To have a friendship with you as a man was a blessing we will always hold deep in our hearts. You will be so missed by each of us. Love you see you in heaven some day.

I know how much Dan loved his boys! And to Joanie, they were her boys as well., Cody was loved by the Hill Country MHDD family and will be missed by them. Although family members here will forever miss Dan, Cody, and Courtney, they made their final journey Home together and are rejoicing with the angels. May the family left behind find peace in knowing the three of them walked bravely together into their next life, although all were called too soon and too tragically. I pray that in the coming days, God will grant you comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead.,
