Wade & Michelle,

No words ease the pain at a time like this, but I would like you to know that there are parents out there who know exactly how you feel. We lost our son Garrett M. Berg [Motoman393} on 9/22/2002. Please know you are in our prayers and we are willing to speak with you anytime that you may desire.

Wade, as we discussed when possible "Rather than mourn the absence of the flame, let us remember how brightly it shined." This is a saying that no doubt applies to Cody.

Hang in there - you all are not alone.

In Sympathy - Kind Regards,

Mike & Suzette Berg Houston, Texas

its sad that in this world today there are those that would use a sympathy post to try and make themselves seem better than others im sure the family doesnt want or care for unwarrented comments like the ones being posted by travis dad or others i have seen throughout these post nor do the others just looking through them there is a time and place for all things and you travis dad if you really know the meaning of all the 10 cent words you so like to toss around would know this PLEASE PEOPLE have a little respect and common sense yes a tragdy has occured could it have been prevented yes but pointing fingers and berating others will neither change what happened or bring little cody back and to the fidler family i want to say im sry for the things you have to see on some of the post here once again it just shows how unfair the world really is and how cruel some people can be

david on March 19, 2007

We would like to express our sympathy and prayers to your family in this difficult time. Our son is a dirt biker and four wheeler that loves the sports and we support his endevors and ask God to be at his side. Always remember that Cody died doing somthing he enjoyed doing, and that God has a plan for him in heaven.

God Bless!

what happened was a freak accident and no one is to blame the Lord called Cody home because it was his time to go! We feel really sorry for the Fidler Family,and our prayers and thoughts are with them!

To the Fidler Family: Please know that your mx families all over the world are still praying for you. Cody will never be forgotten- we will always live and race by Cody's Rule/Law

mxfamily05 on March 18, 2007

The Adams family will have you and your family in our prayer's There is nothing anyone could do or say to make the pain go away. We to know the pain that your family is feeling at this time. My wife lost her 1st son and husband in 94 in a car wreck, So when we had our 1st son togeather she did not take well to our son Nick wanting to race, But she looked deep in her heart and remembered how she did not allow her 3 year old son to do what he wanted when he was here on earth. People tell's her all the time she must be crazy for allowing Nick to race in a sport such as motorcross and when she is done telling them how her 1st son was adhd and the dr's said to not give him candy and keep things he loved away from him and that in his 3 years here on earth he never got to live or do the things a kid loves to do. See it was killing her day by day knowing that she did not allow him to live those few year's that god gave to them togeather. And by allowing nick to do the things that he loves so much is better to not let him lived at all! I know that Cody loved to ride and it showed in his "Beautiful Smile" Just know he is looking down on his mom and dad saying "Thank you" for letting me do what i loved to do. If there is anything we can do to help, Pls feel free to email us @ boxingtony@gmail.com

Blessed Be

T.Adams

I was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of your son, and I would like to express my sincere sympathy to you and your family on behalf of Jacob Davidson’s family & Friends. Your family is highly respected by the entire racers. Your child was regarded as a visionary leader by anyone who rode the race with him that day. Please accept our heartfelt condolences at this difficult time, and your family will remain in our prayers. Your child was a remarkable child in many ways. He will be missed by many. With sincere sympathy,

Mendy Tessneer, Jacob Davidson # 727 and the Davidson family & friends

God has called his child back HOME you will see him again. Sorry for your lose

John on March 18, 2007

My heart goes out to the Fidler family in their time of need. I have inquired about the stickers for my sons and I to keep Cody's memory alive with us here in Maryland. I would also encourage those who do not know of the Brett Downey foundation. Young Brett Downey was killed under similar circumstances... Please encourage all tracks to become compliant to their rules when it comes to bigger bikes on the track and training our flaggers. Please visit the site and do what you can to keep this tragedy from happening again.

Please let us know what we can do to help and if we can obtain some of the stickers to honor Cody's memory. Brian Piaquadio Devon Piaquadio Tristin Piaquadio Seth Piaquadio

To Cody's Family, We're so sorry to here about Cody. We have two kids ages 8 and 10. They have both raced since they were 4. They haven't raced in a year because of other commitments. We used to go to Parker Valley quiet often and every time something would come up to where we would argue with Joe because of him not doing something that we knew was right. I'm really surprised that something like this has not happened before now, because this is not the first time that Joe has put big bikes with little bikes.He used to do it quiet often.That was our concern every time we went. You all are in our prayer's and we are really sorry. God Bless your family. Even though we didn't know Cody, all kids are precious and we love him.

Moto Angel

"Start Your Engine" Is the Call, as the gates start to fall, but the rider we seek is not there, he lays his body in a far away, eternal place, Never again to reveal his face. Words can't begin to describe such potential in such a young mind. That God has snatched away with such informality and hurried haste. Our wishes to say good-bye have been crudely snatched away by the hands of fate, but such reassurance it is to know - He is eternally safe...dressed in a white robe of bright and brillant lace. We all have our regrets, our sorrows. We will think of him all day, all night and into tomorrow. But with a motorcycle by his side and a halo overhead, He will watch above us and with a holy hand help us wipe each tear we shed. So as Cody lays to rest in peace, caught up in our memories, remember his life, and as he lays beneath the stone, we remember him in a love with neverended cease.

Cindi Hinkle -- Motomom629 on March 16, 2007

We would like to send our deepest sympathys to your family. I know words comfort lightly, but think on these, when he got to heaven and St. Peter looked at Cody he asked him "was you happy?" Cody left this world doing something he loved, we all can only be so lucky to leave this life that way. Our thought and prayers go out to you.

Gene & Trish, Kelsey, Josh Harris on March 16, 2007

We are so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers. We live in the North Texas area. My boys CJ and Eric race Cross Country, but cross train in motorcross. It is something that they love to do. I do not know about "Cody's Law", but I will learn about it. There should be rules/regulations all across the country so accidents like this do not happen again. Our hearts go out to you. Teresa

Teresa, David, CJ, and Eric on March 16, 2007

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son Cody. As a mother of two boys age 5 and 8 that race 50cc and 65cc classes I can only imagine the complete emptiness that you must feel. Please know that we will be praying for your family and all the families involved. We will be at Parker Valley this weekend, and you can believe that when I send them to the line to race, or practice I will be hugging them a little tighter and we will be thinking of you and your entire family. Motocross is such a family sport that a loss to you is a loss to us also.

Dear Wade and Michelle, I think that "Cody's Law" is a wonderful idea and quiet a tribute. I am very active in my community here in Southwest VA as well as the racing community. I would be willing to do whatever I can to see "Cody's Law" inacted. There are truly two familys hurting here. We will be there at Parker Valley this weekend with our son. If there is anything I can do to help or become a active part of your movement, please call me (276)275-9046. Prayers are still going up and will continue for you in my community.

Darlene Riggs on March 16, 2007

I am so sorry for this tragedy. I have thought about your family dailey since we heard the news, we do not know you but my thoughts and prayers are with you now. As a mother of 4, with 3 already riding i cannot imagine the pain you all are going through. We will be certain that our 2 boys are never on a track with bigger riders, and will pass on Codys' Rule to all that we meet. May God easy your sorrow. The Bailey Family

Christie Bailey on March 16, 2007

This heart breaking loss really hit home with us. We have 2 sons that race in each age group involved(4&14). My 4 yr. old will begin racing this spring. His 1st race will be at Parker Valley. He is so excited and so proud. His face lights up just to put his gear on or just talking about motorcycles. I can definitely relate to Cody and to the other rider as well. My 14 yr.old has only been racing 1 year and that was in the 85 class. He had no experience on a motocross track until this time last spring.

My heart and prayers go out to both families involved and to the entire motocross family who grieves with you. Both of these riders were just kids. It could have happened to one of ours in either role. Just remember "All life comes from God". God is God and he doesn't make any mistakes.

#27 Jackson on March 16, 2007

We are so sorry to hear about the loss Cody. I just wanted you to know that you are in my prayers. I didn't know Cody but the Bible tell us love everybody.

My deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. God, please help this family to heal from this terrible accident.

Rob on March 16, 2007

Our thoughts and prayers are with both of the children involved in this horrible accident. Every life has a meaning and perhaps the meaning in Cody's was to help other kids not get hurt in a similar fashion. Cody's rule will live for many years after he is gone and save countless lives.

The Stanfield Family on March 16, 2007

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. I have two boys that also race and we just can not believe what has happened to you. We will be racing at Parker Valley this weekend and we will have a silent time in memory of your son. We are also praying for you to recover as a family as best you can. I know words realy can not help but we are truly thinking of you.

The Kevin Cox family on March 15, 2007

No words can ever express how to say my heart aches for your loss.As a mother of a now 30 year old son who also started his first race at age 5 also, I know the fear and also the excitement of the love of MX racing.I now have 2 grandson's who are beginning along with their father to start their racing dreams.I say a prayer everyday for their safety knowing accidents do happen.Please know your family will be in my prayers and I only hope in the sad times you can remember the smile on Cody's face as he rode, and know how much fun it was for him.God bless your family and be with you.

All we can really do is never forget and watch out for one another. Let your love help you through. I am so sorry this happened. We are still praying for you.

John Kent #05 on March 15, 2007

You are in our prayers. Cody's life was way to short But, I found out that God only sends us little angles for a very short time. This is a litle angle that will truely be missed.

ken Johnson From: Absolut ink on March 15, 2007

Please know that like all others, our family is praying for your family in this difficult time. Cody will be in our thoughts for a long time. Perhaps he was sent here with a purpose and that was to save others with Cody's Rule.

MX Family In FL on March 15, 2007

our deepest sympathy to you and your family. it is truly a shame when these things happen. we are currently promoting Cody's Rule to all of our local tracks in the hopes that something like this cannot happen again. not suprisingly, all of the local owners and promoteres are eagerly comming on board. Gods speed to Cody, and God bless all of you.

The Hart Family on March 15, 2007

Dear Fidler Family, I am sorry for your loss. I am a mother of a 11yr old boy who has been riding since the age of 4. I know the passion that these young riders have. I have said many of prayers over the years and at times wished my son would soon decide he didnt want to race anymore. But the passion these riders have is something special. I am very pleased that your family is working on Cody's Rule or Law. I would hope that maybe the other young rider involved in this tragic accident could participate in this effort. My prayers have been with you since I heard about this, peace and love to all involved.

God speed to you Cody. I know you will watch over your family and send them angels to help them through their deep sadness.

To the Fidler family: We are also deeply saddened by this event as we have one 8 yr. old racer and a 4 yr. old who wants to ride. It is so hard as a parent to balance the enthusiasm that racing brings to our lives and the risks that all of us take being involved in this sport. We take the same risk every time we get into a vehicle with our children, so none of us can judge. God has his own plan and Cody was called.

You are in our hearts and prayers.

In ref.to Mr. Wilson's post. I read your post before it was deleted. I didn't think it was very approate for this message/sympathy guest book. I feel sure the family was probably glad it was deleted before people had the chance to read it. It wasn't the kind of message that needed to be on here for Michele or WADE.

Close to the family on March 15, 2007

Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family. The MX family is a close one and when something happens to one, we all feel the pain.

We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Jody, Peggy and Justin Wilson

Jimmy Wilson on March 15, 2007

This is not a witch hunt people. We can say could have, should have, would have, all day but the bottom line is this poor innocent child pasted on. Let him rest in peace. We now need to concentrate on preventing things like this from ever happening again. At the end of the day it does no one any good to name call and point fingers. Time will heal all things but this beautiful little boy will NEVER be forgotten. I know everyone has got an opinion, but let's try, for the parent's sake, to keep the negative ones to ourselves. GOD SPEED LITTLE ONE, RIDE THE CLOUDS.......

Anonymous on March 15, 2007

We pray for you and your family. While we don't know you nor did we have the pleasure of knowing Cody, we can tell by the photos that he had MX in his heart. As a parent of 2 young dedicated riders and my husband and I riders too, our hearts go out to you and your family. We cannot begin to imagine the pain you must feel. Please know we pray for you. Cody now becomes our MX Angel. What a precious, precious child.

Rich Family on March 15, 2007

It is a shame people have to use a sympathy and condolence page to put finger pointing and comments about people they know nothing about. As a parent who has lost twins, and almost lost a daughter twice that she had tried to have for 5 years. I would never be stupid enough to use this page to put blame or who is more responsible for this terrible accident. We have been racing for over 10 years now and have some motorcross accidents that are awful. I have spent more nights in the Hospital with my children because of motorcross. But I have also spent many nights at the hospital because of accidents off the track. We pray every night and day to keep our children safe and to help them be strong and keep them safe. But sometimes it is our of our hands and accidents do happen! Why do so many people think they can play Devil's Advocate and say it was all one person's fault becaues she did not care and just put anybody where they wanted to ride. Anyone who know's Mary(Roy's Wife) will know that is not true and that she cares more about people and riders than anyone would know.

Mother of an 85, 450F and 250f Rider on March 15, 2007

Our hearts go out to all parties involved, we were in Texas when we got the phone call at a national. My immediate reaction was tears and then to load up and not ride the rest of our races, but when reality set in I realized that everyone involved did what we normally do and this was just an incident out of the normalities of motocross.

I feel your pain, I feel Joe's pain, and I feel the 85 riders pain. I could have been in Joe's position when this happened, my child could have been in Cody's position or the 85 riders position. There is just no telling.

As a track worker, event promoter, racer, racer's parent, I will definitely pay more attention in the future to what is going on, on and off the track. A very good friend of ours had the same incident happen in the pits fooling around.

We will continue to keep everyone in our thoughts, please contact us if there is anything we or the RiderDown Organization can do for any of you.

We will never forget.

We love you all.

Tara Cothran and family #74 on March 15, 2007

Wade and Michelle, you know I love you both and you are in my heart and prayers. Cody was made out of the love that you two have for one another. Hold on to that. Chris sent me a poem today and I have to share... A Place Where Children Are What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered `round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just sends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

Cody, please watch over Destini and JC. I have lots of hugs and kisses for you when I get there...Love you.

Shannon Wright on March 15, 2007

To the Parents of Cody,

I just want you to know that in my opinion you could not have picked a safer MX track for Cody to learn the sport of MX racing. You did all that could be reasonably expected under the circumstances to keep Cody safe.

When Isaiah is at Parker Valley, I feel less apprehension than I do at any other track we have visited and we have visited many.

Parker Valley is one of the safest run tracks Isaiah has raced and practiced on. Is Parker Valley perfectly safe? Probably not: but no MX track is and in my opinion Parker Valley is one the safest. It is a well laid out track with no unreasonably risky obstacles, few risky jumps, and EMT are always on site. There are track personnel driving around on ATVs policing the pits and stopping potentially risky behavior. I know, Isaiah has been rightfully admonished for engaging in risky behavior in the pits.

You did good by taking Cody to Parker Valley although the result was not good. I was not there when Cody had his accident, but I am sure Parker Valley was providing the safest service possible using then current MX track policies set by the MX community: policies that allowed 85cc with 50cc on a track at the same time.

If one had given me a list of say 10 MX tracks in the area and told me that a kid was killed on one of the tracks and then asked me to put the tracks in order from most likely to least likely as the track where the accident happened, I would have put Parker Valley at the bottom of the list.

I suppose that sometimes accidents that defy statistical probability just happen.

That being said, we can "shut the door" on this issue and prevenet future Cody type accidents by changing acceptable practice polices where 85c or larger bikes are not allowed on the track with 50cc. Is this a knee jert reaction? Perhaps, but so be it. God Speed to you and Cody.

Isaiah813 on March 15, 2007

I didnt know Cody or his family but my prayers go out to his family.My prayers also go out to the other little boy who hit him.So everbody keep him in yourthoughts and prayers.

Wade, You will never know who much it has meant to me and my family to read your comments. I know my family along with thousands of others will ALWAYS remember Cody and how he left this world. This accident has made so many parent and spectators more aware of the safety that we should ALL look for. I had never been more moved than I was after our conversation lastnight. I know I will always carry Cody in my mind and heart and now I feel like I can try and move forward. Knowing that such a short time after your sons death that you and Michelle are so determined to carry out Cody's Law makes me more determined to help even more. You both have our support and love more than you will ever know. Thank you so much for explaining to everyone that can't understand any other way, this is a sympathy board and not a blaming & bashing board. Just knowing YOU aren't pointing fingers at just one certain person can hopefully make others to see, let's work on the future and carry Cody's name on in A POSITIVE LIGHT. Sincerely,Crystal

CRYSTAL HUTCHINS on March 15, 2007

I want to thank all of you for your love and support it has mint so much to my family to know there are so many people out there that really care and want to help. I have read and heard of a few things and I want to express my feelings. We can not blame a 12 yrs old kid for what has happened. We can not take this sport away from our children this sport is as safe as playing any other sport if it is done right especialy in the 50cc beginners. I have heard about a 16 yr old law I really feel if you put a 16 yr old kid on a bike with no experience take them to a track and let thim race this will happen again. Right now I am working with a few people to get codys rule out or maybe it needs to be codys law. I would like it to be in every 50cc or any beginner bike. If people are aware this will not happen again. I want to be at every track to try and make sure it dont but I cant. Thats why we need codys rule that way there is no posible way it could ever happen again and I really feel that, that is the reason I still stand here today. When I left the hospital 3/10/07 I no longer wished to live. I wanted to be beside Cody with him in my arms where he would stay forever. Cody was my Life. Cody made me happy seeing him happy and if you could have seen his face when he was on that track or when he would just talk about being on the track there would be no way you could have took that away from him. Some people say I was a bad parrent for letting him go out there, I loved my son with all my heart and have spent more quality time with him in a single work day than most fathers spend with theres in a week. Being with him thats what I lived for and if I would have known Codys Rule he would still be here today. Please Please dont cast blame here. It is a sympathy book that my family will have forever.

Wade Fidler Cody's Dad on March 15, 2007

First of all I would like to send our condolences to the family of little Cody. It is a tragic accident. My son is 8 years old and has been racing for 3 years. I pray for GOD to keep him safe everytime he goes out on the track. He rides a 65 and he too has been on a track with bigger bikes. It is just to dangerous. Hello! Common Since! You don't put 50cc on the track with 85's nor do you put 85's on a track with 250's. Although I agree this was a freak accident and no, PV didn't let the 85's out with intentions of an accident especially a fetal accident. PV is definitey not the only track that has done this. I hope all tracks open their eyes and stop!I know as long as my son is racing they better not dare try to put a bigger bike out there with him in practice or a race!!Our prayers or with the family and I pray GOD helps the family through this terrible tradegy.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts break for you. Tears are falling as I type this message. We can't begin to know what your going though. We have two children of our own, our 8 year old son races youth ATVs and I pray so hard before he gets out on the track each time. Our prayers also go out to the other rider involved in the accident.

The Owen family on March 14, 2007

We have never met but we are sincerely sorry for your loss. We have 2 50 riders and have had some close calls and a 1 hospital visit due to opened practices. If you decide to push the NO Opened Practice issue, we are on board. Our prayers are with Cody, you and your family. The Giglio's

Anthony Giglio #219 on March 14, 2007

My son will be racing in Parker Valley this weekend. He is now 19 and has been racing since he was eight years old. the whole time he is on the track I thank God before he begins each lap that his lap will be a good and uninjured lap. I also pray for God's guardian angels to surround him and keep him safe. If it were not for our families strength in God I don't think I could watch my son. We are so very sorry that you lost your son. We will pray for your strength and Gods comfort over you. I cant't imagine what you are going through.

Some of you may read my ealier message today. Which apparently was taken off - and it seemed to be taken off by whoever "So Sorry" is listed below. That person may want to consider that maybe I'm in a position to "stick my nose" in. I'm concerned with the safety of everyone's children who should not have been racing together. It could have easily been a 10 year old that was hit by a 16 year old. Which is a different class of riders with different skill levels. I can only assume that "So Sorry" is probably with JMX or the track owner's since they made sure to delete my previous message before too many people see it. Seems like a pretty guilty action to me. Someone there in charge was at fault. And no, the parents aren't placing blame at this point because they are too involved in their grief. But I"m sure once the dust settles and they start trying to piece things back together, they too will wonder who let the bigger boys out on the track. Noone is blaming the other rider, who already has to live with what happen. And before you tell someone they have no business sticking there nose in it, you might consider that Cody has alot of family that are heartbroken and are not going to stop until questions are answered and something is done so that noone else has to suffer a loss such as this that didn't have to happen because of someone else's neglect.

I morn regretfully the loss of your little son, Cody.

I hope the big people coming down this weekend keeps the lady away (Roys' wife) -she put my 85rider out with the little ones. I didn't understand-but the she is not rider driven &/or rider safe. She dosen't know what she is doing! I know she has kids to, that race? I witnessed at the window- not to do it per Joe, but this lady ignored the other lady. I refgretfully, as a parent let this happen- I have to take responsiblity for my actions.

God bless your family, you are in our prayers. As we express our sympathy to your family.

Oliver family on March 14, 2007

This is a sympathy board people. Please keep your judgements to yourself. Judge not or you will be judged. If the poor parents are not blaming anyone then who are you to be sticking your nose in. Everyone in this tragic situation are trying to deal with things the best way they can.

So Sorry on March 14, 2007

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Find comfort in the strength of the Lord and eachother during this time. Words cannot express the hearbreak we all feel for your family. God Bless you all.

MX Family in California on March 14, 2007

Our prayers and thought go out to you during this time. Having also lost a child I can understand what pain and sorrow you are feeling. With the love and support of those around you the pain will ease over time, love each other be strong and know your loved one is safe and being taken care of for eternity.

It will take the love for each other and the bond you have as a family to make through the rough time ahead.

Once again we will be praying for you and your lost loved one.

I am sorry for your loss, Just remember there is a reason for everything, God loves us all! My prayers are with you.

Phyllis Mccune on March 14, 2007

I don't know what to say. I feel terrible about what happened. Heaven is a wonderful place but it hurts us when someone leaves us to go there. Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the world. Red and Yellow, Black and White, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.

I have three little ones and I am in tears writing this. I pray that you receive comfort during this time.

Mike Tepedino on March 14, 2007

We are truly sorry to hear about your loss. No parent should ever have to deal with the loss of a child, espescially at such a young age. Just know that God is with you and Cody is now in a better place. Be strong and find strength in the Lord. We are all praying for you and your family.

You have lost a most precious gift. I pray that God will give your family peace and comfort as you pass through this difficult time. You were very fortunate to have such a beautiful son, so full of life. I hope that as time passes your memories of the good times with him will bring you joy to comfort your sorrow.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family. My husband was at the track and since then your whole family has been in our prayers. May God give you the strength and comfort during this time. We continue to lift up everyone involved from the EMT, to the other rider and his family, everyone that witnessed the accident from adults to children, and especially your family. May God guide you day by day.

To Cody,s family

No one knows the severity of your pain but you and God. No one knows the answer's to all the WHY questions. But I do know this in the losses and hurts of our human journey, it is the Word of the eternal God that speaks to us with authority and power. So I pray theses words of Jesus will speak to you today.

Matt 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Hold on to God and His Word today and in the days ahead. Know that we are praying for you.

David Keever on March 13, 2007

Holmquist Family (Ben #24) on March 13, 2007

I have always thought Cody was a really cool name, when ever I saw a little guy on the track with the name Cody I used to think to my self, kid got it made with a name like that and on top of that loves to ride. You must have been very proud. I dont know of your family only what I have read from these post, but it sure sounds like he was one mighty fine little dude. You guys take care of your selfs and I will say a prayer for you and Cody tonight.

A Child's Heaven

Mommy, can you see the smile on my face? Heaven is such a beautiful place! Everyone is friendly, I'm never alone. Mommy, you should see Heaven- It feels just like home.

Mommy, the angels here are sweet and nice, They hug you once and kiss you twice. Their hair is long and the color of gold. They don't have wrinkles; they'll never grow old.

Mommy, I wish you could see the babies And hear their cute baby laugh. All of them splash their little wings When the angels give them a bath!

Mommy, I wish you could see Jesus- He's always the same. He walks with us in the garden And he lovingly calls us by our name.

Mommy, you wouldn't be so sad If you could see the smile on my face. Oh, mommy, I Love Heaven! It's such a Beautiful Place.

God Bless You All

Lewis, Michelle, and Johnathan Parham #203 on March 13, 2007

Please know that our family is deeply saddened at your loss. From what I've read and heard about Cody, he was an amazing little boy. I can not imagine what you are going through. We are keeping you and your family in our prayers.

"Gone, yet not forgotten although we are apart. God has you in his keeping...we have you in our hearts."
