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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-690x518.jpg 690w, https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_0580-1-980x735.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We released balloons in his memory as part of the service &#8211; 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.
