Cody’s Memorial

Last Thursday night I was in Hickory, NC, at the Crawdads game, the minor league team where Cody Bryant, a young man from our church, had been the head groundskeeper. He died last fall of a fall, with covid being an underlying cause. It was just incredibly sad. The Crawdads had a beautiful memorial service for him at their first home game this spring, and several of us from church went up for that. The stadium was so beautiful. I was especially taken with the planters.

We released balloons in his memory as part of the service – in John Deere green and yellow, as sitting on a John Deere was where Cody spent much of his time when he was at work at the stadium. Just a sweet, very emotional night.
