I am so sorry I did not know about Anne’s death until late Saturday night when I found time to read the papers. Betty has not been doing well and I have not been able to stay on top of things. You have my prayers and sympathy. Annie will be missed. She was a great lady and loved by all.
I am so glad I got to see her when I did.
It was a wonderful time in my life knowing Ann and Clyde,while at Enka Baptist Church. The Cody family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Nancy and Rick,Linda,Martha and CJ
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom’s death. That special lady will live on in the character of her wonderful caring children.
One nice thought to ponder: YOur Mom is longer suffering and now she can embrace her husband.
There is a web site that deals with the 10 stages of grief. I have found it very comforting. I hope you can google it and read over the material.
Linda,Nancy,Martha and C.J.-My thoughts & prayers are with you. Ann & Clyde where very special people in my life. No one could make Taco’s like your mom (not even my mother). Your dad always let me know that I was getting up in age and still not married (which I am now, he was happy). I know now that Ann is now with Clyde. I am thinking about you all and my thoughts & prayers are with you. Tina,Russell,Sierra & Autumn Harvey (I will always have a place in my heart for both of them). Please let me know if there is anything that I can do.
Martha, you and your family will be included in my prayers. In Christ, Rick Thomason
CJ,Nancy,Martha and Linda: from all us Post girls and mama- we love you and pray for God’s peace and comfort for all of you. There are so many wonderful memories of Mrs Cody…canning in the summer,the cherry yum-yum, days at the lake and of course Mr Cody’s promise to marry Nancy some day. I’m happy to know Mr & Mrs Cody are together again with the Father. love,Mary Angela
CJ, Nancy, Martha and Linda, you are in my heart and prayers. Aunt Ann holds such a large place in my heart and my memories of our lives growing up. How very fortunate we are to have been brought into this Cody family and share the many fun times together. I love you all and I will always miss Uncle Clyde and Aunt Ann. With family and Christian love, Brenda
I am very sorry about your loss. Let me tell you God shall wipe away all your tears from your eyes. Don’t cry nknow that God will be there. If you are saved and living right then you shall see her again. May God Bless you during the time of your loss
Martha shared many stories of her mother’s amazing strength of mind and body. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Cody Family. Yours Truly, Gina Robins
Brooke, I am thinking of you as you go through this valley, but as we said, you will have so many memories to cherish. The time you had with your grandmother was abundant and valuable. If she could, she would tell you what a blessing you were to her.
Prayerfully Yours,
Anna
Brooke,
God bless you and your family during this time of grief. I will always be there for you. I am and will be forever your friend.
Love, Candi
What an awesome woman your mom has been in her life. I’m so glad she was an influence in mine. Enka Baptist will never be the same now that Ann and Sadie are both gone! Can you imagine the reunion in heaven with Clyde and Ann…and Sadie and Fred? Ha! What a fun place to be! They are all ‘jumping stumps’ together today…and Jesus is laughing with them! Just know you are loved and many thoughts and prayers are with you!
Love,
Mary and Bob and family
When we were young, I remember the fun we had sleeping over at your Mom’s. The house was wonderfully warm and welcoming and way back in the woods, like a secret place to play. I made my very first batch of brownies in your kitchen; and your daddy gave me my first sip of real milk, warm and fresh from your cow…happy memories that will live in my heart always. My thoughts and prayers are with your family through this sad time. May God give you peace. Love, Linda
Brooke: I have thought about you a
lot during these days. I certainly
do admire your determination to be
so brave with your grief. My prayers are with you and all of your
family. Ofter words are empty when
we have so much pain…but with our
faith and love of the Lord, we are
able to know that there is peace.
With love and prayers….Bessie and
all of your third period ‘kids’
I’M SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT ANN. SHE WAS A REALLY NEAT LADY AND I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF HER. I KNOW IF MOTHER WERE ABLE SHE WOULD SAY THE SAME. I’M SORRY I CAN’T BE THERE AS I AM OUT OF TOWN BUT MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL.
MUCH LOVE,
LISA LOWE MILAM
