"RIP Koda i can't believe you are gone. such a kind an brilliant person that will be missed! I will always remember my sweet Cody Sharp from when we were little. forever sweethearts at 5 and 6 years old. from a pink rose, to rides on the power wheel lol we were two peas in a pod . i miss those days when you, your sister and I and all the neighbor kids would play from sun up to sun down. many memories i will always cherish. I never thought we would see each other again after you moved away ,but its funny how the world works an we would meet again and again as life went on. Even though many things had changed, as we grew older we could still always talk. you were always easy to talk to. I know we will meet again till then may you rest in peace and watch over those you love and offer them warmth to get through this hard time without you. for we will meet again some day an will have plenty of stories to tell and a life full of memories to share. forever sweethearts forever friends no matter how long or how far.
