I miss you so much grandpa. I think about you often and wish you were still around to lend your words of wisdom. I still remember the way you smelled and how good your hugs felt. I hope you are doing great wherever you are and keep watching out for grandma :)

Hey Grandpa! I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I think you were there with me that night a few weeks ago during a car accident...I think you protected me and made sure that I would not be hurt. I had a dream about you just that morning when you told me "Everything will be ok, everything is going to be just fine." I love you and miss you soooo much! I am so glad to have known you and loved you. You were such a wonderful, loving man and I will never forget you. Thank you again for being my guardian angel and keeping me safe, not just that night but any time I am needing you. I love you, Grandpa! Stay close, please....I really love "seeing" you in my dreams and hope you will come back soon.

First, I remember the love of your mother towards your father. A poem would not yet be able to provide another to understand such love. I am her seond cousin and fell in love with their lives and watched them grow from here in California. I only now found this site to honor them.
I remember one time when we had to go on Route 66 to the doctor, not for Dave, but another. He could not wait to get back to Washington where all is green.
I am here still in Encino, California, and still agree with him and miss the joy of his life.

That's so funny mom wrote that about "Having a little coffee with your cream" I said that to myself just the other day and you came to mind. I also remember driving at night with you, you always told me to keep my brights on so I could see if there were animals up ahead "the lights will reflect off of their eyes." I remember these little things all the time...the 800 pound bear, shooting Santa Claus and watching him run over the hills! So many things you used to say stick with me. Off the subject, Heidi got a "new" dog. Not really new, he's a very old German Shepherd that she rescued from down by the river. She named him "Opa" wheich is grandpa in German. It fits him perfectly! He is very protective of her and I and also all the kids. Afew weeks ago when we were visiting her, Opa came up to me and placed his big head on my knee, when I looked into his eyes I got this overwhelming feeling that I was looking at you. Call me crazy, but I saw you at that precise moment. I miss you so much and wish all the time you were still here. I know you are up in heaven where you belong and we will meet again, but I miss you so much! Grandma hasn't been doing the best either, she is tired and misses you more than ever. She loves you so much and I know that one day you two will be together again. Please keep watching over us and keep us safe. I know that you are the kids' guardian angel, thank you, they need it! I love you Papa!
Sending lots of love and hugs and kisses your way!!! XOXOXOXOXO

2009 is here and you are still missed greatly. Even now, I don't think a day goes by without some instance that reminds me of you.... something you said, or did, or laughed about. Like if I put too much cream in my coffee in the morning I remember you would have said, "Would you like a little coffee with your cream?" Or when I hear some bad music on the radio I can almost hear you say, "do you like that better than music?" A couple of weeks ago I was talking to Ralph, and he said, "I sure miss your dad!". We all miss you Dad, and our love remains strong.

Hi again! I miss you so much! Sometimes during my day I wonder if you are looking down on me, and what you are thinking. Do you laugh when I do something silly or stupid? Do you feel sad when I do? Do you scold me when I scold the kids for being naughty? What do you see? What do you feel? Do you know how much you are missed? These things run through my head constantly! Sometimes I get a little scared of what will happen to me after I die. I had one of those episodes last week, and thank goodness Pat was right there and helped me through it! I don't know why I get so scared....I just do. I guess I should really go back to meeting. I haven't been in about 6 years, and I know I need to. I hope that if and when you are watching me, you will help me make the right choices. I need all the help I can get! Things have been good, but they could always be better. I miss you so much! I love looking at your pictures everytime we go to see grandma. There's one of you when you were just 6 years old, and it looks so much like David Matthew! Uncanny.....Anyhow, I should go for now. I'm sorry I haven't been on here lately, I'm sure you've noticed how busy I've been. Well, take care grandpa, I love you!

Hello again Grandpa! Sorry it's been so long since I've written to you. I do feel guilty, and hope you'll forgive me! I just got off the phone with my mom and she had just gone to visit you with Bailey. They brought a cup of coffee for you. It's been so cold around here lately! Lots of rain and chilly days! Mom was trying to get Bailey to put your flag back and Bailey said "It's my flag. Grandpa gave it to me!" So my mom let her keep it thinking that it was very possible for you to have given it to her! Thank you! Well, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote in here. Where do I start? Pat and I have had a lot of issues this past summer. We almost were completely over. But, something made us both wake up and realize that we belong together, and that if we work hard enough, everything will be fine. He told me once during a very hard/difficult time that he went and saw you and talked to you about me. I think it made him a little more aware of things and I want to thank you for that too. He also keeps brining up something you once said in a letter to your daughters, "that the best thing a man can do for his children is to love their mother." He said that when he read this it was like having his eyes opened for the first time. I hope that everything will work out for us! You and grandma were married for over 50 years, and that's something to be proud of!!!! Thank you for being there for me and I promise to write more often! I love you so much, and I will come and see you soon! Love always!!

Hi Dad, I've been thinking about you a lot lately, again. One year ago... you were with us still; I was staying with you and mom during your last days. Has it really only been a year? A lot has happened in since....we sisters have grown closer, while Bruce and I have split. I find I have to tap more and more into your words of wisdom that live in my memory; and I'm so thankful for it. I could use some time with you to help me sort out some things. Thank you for being such a great dad while you were with us. I miss you so.

Hi Dad, I can't believe you've been gone almost a year, we all miss you so much!! A day doesn't go by without thinking of you, and I'm reminded you're not really gone ... you left what really mattered behind: your wisdom, humor, those little sayings that so often run through my head, all the wonderful memories ... but, oh how I miss just seeing your sweet face and giving you a hug! I wish you could've stayed longer! Now Uncle Johnny is gone too, Mom has lost the 2 men in her life in the past year. She really needs you guys to watch over her, ok?! Love you, love you Dad!

I miss you so much. As you should know, during the last several weeks I've been trying to deal with some tough stuff. I find myself talking to you as if you could help me. While I slept last night, you were there and I don't think it was a dream. I was sitting in the livingroom of our old house & you were standing in the kitchen fixing a cup of coffee. I couldn't believe you were there, & I found myself trying to focus because it just couldn't be! But then you turned & looked at me, and smiled. You looked so rested and healthy, your face smooth and clear and the lines faded. Thank you for letting me know you haven't left us... not really. We still need you Dad.

Hello again! I am up getting ready for work-5:17 am (YUCK!) It's hard to believe that you've been gone only 7 months, it seems like forever! I was talking to one of my friends yesterday about our old friend, Ryan, and he passed on March 18, 2003. I can't believe that was almost 3 years ago! I hope you know Ryan by now! He was a very nice guy, not as nice as you, but a nice guy! I miss you so much! I have to get ready now. My dad and Grandma Turner are coming for dinner tonight. We are going to Barbeque, hopefully if it doesn't snow again! You would have been SO proud of the boys last night! They did a dedication to their school since it's a historical building that has been restored. All of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders contributed by song and a "We are the World" in sign language! It was awesome, it made me tear up! Then Mark and Jacob came out, dressed in their suits :) and did their song with their classes, and afterwards, Mark got up in front of everybody and delivered his small speech! And may I add-FLAWLESSLY!!! I was so proud of him, he made me cry! Well, I really need to go now! I love you and miss you and I will write again soon! Love you!

Grandpa-I had a dream about you last night. I miss you so much! In my dream you were at my company Christmas party, which I know you could not have been, but you were there, sitting in a chair by the door and you looked right at me and then you started to light up, like an angel and you faded away. I remember thinking in my dream that you were only there as a memory and when you left, it was your way of telling me that now you're with God, and you are in a much better place now. I love you and I miss you so much!!!!

In the 3 months since we lost Dad, not very many hours go by that I don't think of him and remember the things he said through the years that continue to help me over this "road of life". Life goes on and we are left to continue the trip without him; but he equipped us for this part of the journey. He continues to influence me; his words of wisdom and patience and humor replay in my mind and makes me smile. Tomorrow, Nov. 13, my sisters and I will celebrate what would have been 57 years of marriage for my parents. Though we mourn his loss now, and probably forever, I was truely blessed to be one of only 5 favorite "girls" in his world.

Through those years of Dad's illness, I tried to prepare myself for the inevitable - losing him, but I never could have imagined how devastating the reality would be. I try to remind myself how blessed I was to call him "Dad", that it's because he was so wonderful that the loss is so great. I need to remember what he repeated often, especially those last months: he had lived a good life, he said he couldn't complain - he was very happy and content with the life he had lived ... he was at peace. Often I'll remember one of his infamous quotes like, "Well, it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!" and I'm thankful he can still make me laugh. That's just what he'd want. The pain of his loss will always be there, but so will his love and influence.

Dad, I miss you so much! It has become more difficult over the past three months as the permanence of your passing has become painfully real. At first it was possible to let go because you were in so much pain, the difficulties were increasing so radidly, and you were obviously so at peace and ready to go but prolonging your agony just to be here to comfort the rest of us. I remember the night you told us you were leaving, and you loved us all so much, and please take care of your mother. I'm so grateful for those last days we had together. I'm also so grateful for all the years we had you with us. You were a great father. You had such a store of wisdom and common sense. You worked so very hard all your life for all of us. You so loved all the babies and little children who came into your life. Your joy, sense of humor and quick wit were unmatchable. You always had a dream and goals to work toward and actually accomplished them. You were very brave in illness, pain and hard times. You were kind and truly cared about people. You knew that life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful and lived it that way to the best of your ability to the end. I love you Dad, thank you for the love, and the example and life you shared with Mom and us kids and all of our kids. It hurts so much, but I can't help but eventually smile even through the tears, when I think about you and things you've said and done. You gave us so much. Thank you Dad.

POOF YOU’RE A FROG
I dropped my preschool daughter and son on the Cody doorstep for an extended stay. Dave greeted these confused, frightened, children with a warm smile, sized up the situation and said: “poof you’re a frog”.
As in all fairy tails, little girls & boys grow up…if they are loved and cared for, little frogs become princesses and princes. Three decades later these royal children of mine have not forgotten their uncle…I have not forgotten Dave & Marie.
P00F DAVE…YOU’RE A PRINCE

I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to be at the funeral. I was committed to be at a conference out-of-state last week. Unfortunately, the realities of having a job and being a parent force me to do some things that I might wish were different sometimes, as I know Uncle Dave did too. I have several great memories of Uncle Dave, but one of the best ones was not that long ago...I drove up to the Lacey branch of the Washington State Employees Credit Union right behind Aunt Marie and Uncle Dave in their Cadillac on my Gold Wing motorcycle, and Aunt Marie said that she was surprised that I was behind them because I was driving a motorcycle. My reply was that I didn't believe the motorcycle was made that could keep up with her! I thought Uncle Dave was going to choke, he was laughing so hard. When he could speak again, he commented that I had obviously ridden with Aunt Marie in the past on one of her infamous 10 minute runs to Meeting from the Steamboat Island home. I remeber quite a few of those rides, actually!
Uncle Dave was a great kidder too...when my brother Gary and I were on the high school swimming team, he would say to everyone that was present that everyone needed to get in line before Gary and I because we "played clean-up....whatever is on the table, they clean up!" I always appreciated his sense of humor and his unfailing fairness in all situations. He had a joke for every occasion, and all of them could be used in any company. I will miss him greatly.

For my sisters and mom,
Even though we may all have regrets of little things that didn't get said or done, we all pulled togther and did everything possible for dad; each of us in our own way. There can be no doubt that he knew how very much he was loved.
From what I've heard about life-after-death experiences from those who've been there, there is such an overwhelming feeling of love, unlike anything here on earth, that you don't want to come back.
It gives me great comfort to know that he is in such a place.

Dave you are now in a better place that you always talked about. Talking about your life here with Marie and the four daughters that you loved to spoil. Telling one of your many stories about life, and of course addding a few jokes too! Old friends and family that you haven't seen for a long while are now enjoying your company.
We will remember you as a great friend, your big smile, twinkle in your eyes and generosity. Taking us out to coffee, dinner, or ice-cream (which you loved). We sat and told jokes, talked about life, and laughed a lot. Of course you never wanted us to pay the bill when it was time to leave, but we managed to sneak the bill from the waitress once in a while! We will miss you, but are glad that your suffering is over.
We are sorry that we couldn't be with you and your family and friends today to say goodbye. You and your family are in our thoughts, and always will be.

I met Mr. Cody, as I always called him, through his daughter, Deanne, when I was in the 9th grade while my family was living on Hunter Point for that one year within a short distance of the Cody home. I knew him only a very short time but through the years I would see him at different stores in the Olympia area. Every time we would meet I would say "Hi, Mr. Cody!" and he would always respond in a cheerful and upbeat manner saying "Hi, Kevin!" Just like that, with the exclamation mark. Through those various chance encounters I came to know him as the great man all of his family and many friends got to experience. Those chance encounters with him has stayed with me all these years, and I will always remember them.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who were dear to him and, like you, I will miss him sorely.
