It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our son, Cody James Southall. He passed away peacefully in his sleep at home of a Pulmonary Edema on Thursday, November 1, 2012 at the age of 11 years.
Left to forever cherish Cody’s memory are Papa (Patrick); Mama (Marie); big brother Bailey; Nana (Sharon); Baba (Jennie); Grandpa Doug and Grandma Betty; Uncle Kris, Rachel & Caitlin; Auntie Monique & Dave; Uncle Peter & Tyson; as well as numerous other Aunts; Uncles; cousins and friends.
Cody lived with Autism, Seizure Disorder and Heart Arrhythmia. He loved swimming, going on bike rides, walks to get slurpees, sitting on his swings, camping with his family, watching movies, Thomas the Train and being in the boat with his Papa.
On Friday, November 9, 2012 a Celebration of Cody’s Life will be held at 7:00 p.m. in the Bord-Aire Community Centre, 471 Hampton Street, Winnipeg.
A huge thank you is extended to all of our family and friends who came to be with us over the past couple of days. A special thank you to Uncle Kris for being our pillar of strength during a very difficult time.
We have decided that we will be opening a trust fund in Cody’s honour so that we can help other families who are raising children like Cody. Donations to this cause would be greatly appreciated in lieu of flowers. Donations can be made to Pat or Marie Southall.
Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel is in care of arrangements.
Although you were never
Able to say the words “I Love You”
We always felt in our hearts
Your precious smile and infectious
Laugh will be deeply missed
You were such a warrior
And lived each day to the fullest
Despite all of your pain
In the short time we were given
You taught us so much
You made us the people we are
You will be missed each and every day
We know you will always be safe and
Pain free watching down on all of us
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Papa, Mama & Bailey
