Cody Shane was a 5-year-old spitfire who loved his dad, mom, and siblings. He passed away on February 4th in our mom's arms.

No parent should have to worry about a funeral for their child, but that is the unfortunate reality my family has faced. My mom would also love donations of books. She plans to read to other children in the St. Louis PICU as a way to remember Cody. If you have books to donate, please message Andrea Hall-Thompson on Facebook.
