At times like this it is difficult to find the right words of comfort. I deeply feel your pain. What has helped me get thru is knowing my parents are safe in the arms of GOD, as well as Uncle Cal.

Trust that HE will reveal himself even in painful moments to comfort you. Keep the faith and hold on to the many memories you have shared.

"Codee" was a schoolmate of mine. He was among the first to greet my wife and I as we arrived with Harold and Lorraine Gautreau to attend a reunion two weeks ago of the 60th anniversery of the Gonzales High School Graduation Class of 1947. Codee was included in one of the few photographs my wife took on the occasion of our reunion, and, while that will be my last memory of him, those few moments were but a snippet in time of the larger memories I have of him during some of the most important years of our lifetime. Codee will be missed. My condolencies to the Boudreaux families, especially Alvin, who, as Codee's twin shared those important remembrances.
