Many positive thoughts and prayers going to Cody's family at this time. I remember Cody as a preschooler when I was his teacher--always a good memory for me. And I remember Jamie bringing him to Sunset Hill for school events where my kids attended. I'm sorry for your loss. Michele (Mrs. Johnson--Johnnie Appleseed Preschool)
