Dear Marsha and family, We are so sorry for you loss. Yes Cody always loved a good joke even if it was on him. Like the time he and Joe decided to put his cowboy boots in my bed when Tom was out of town. That is still as funny now as it was then. Loved his laugh and he was a good ole boy. We loved that about him. Our deepest sympathy Love Tom & Tracy Henderson

I'm so sorry for your earthly loss. Many hugs to you Donna
I wish I could say, “I knew him.” I suspect I would love knowing him, as you do. My lasting impression is that he was honorable, deeply kind, and joyful. My sincerest sympathy for your loss.

My name is Darlene Harris. I too am a veteran who loves being with family, fishing, and gardening. I am writing you because I saw Cody R. Carder's obituary.
I want to offer some words of comfort from the Bible. There are two scriptures that tell us that our dead loved ones will be resurrected, Acts 24:15 says “15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” John 5:28-29 says “28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”
There are several examples of people getting resurrected in the Bible. The most memorable one was the resurrection of Lazarus, Jesus friend, who had been dead for four days. Lazarus, and all the others resurrected in the Bible, were resurrected to earth. The Bible ensures us that we can see our dead loved ones again here on earth.
Jesus spoke of being dead as being sleep. So we know death is not something to fear, it doesn't hurt. John 11:11 says “After he (Jesus ), said these things, he added: “Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awaken him.” 12 The disciples then said to him: “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well.” 13 Jesus, however, had spoken about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazarus has died, 15 and I rejoice for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe.”
When on earth, Jesus did on a small scale the things he will do on a huge scale when God's kingdom comes. He wanted his disciples and all of mankind to know and believe that he would heal all injuries and sickness, resurrect the dead, and restore the whole earth to a beautiful paradise garden. I think your mom will appreciate that. When God's kingdom comes Revelation 21:3-4 says “3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
We are taught to pray for God's kingdom to come in the Lord's Prayer at Matthew 6:9-10, but most people don't know about the wonderful blessings it will bring. Matthew 6:9-10 says “9 “You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.* 10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.”
