Aunt Cody will live in my heart as long as I have life.  She was not only beautiful on the outside but she had the most loving, caring, compasionate nature which made her so beautiful on the inside.  Her sense of humor was the best.  I have so many memories of her that I tresure. She and my mother (Goldie) spent many summer months working where I was a Customer Service Manager. We sold packaging materials and we sold little tuna fish cans for fishermen to can their own fish in cans instead of glass jars.  The cans came in 4,000 on a pallet and Cody and Mom would box them down to 48 in a case. To hear the laughter and the chiding coming into the office from the warehouse was such a treat for me.  Cody was there when my dear daddy passed away in 1987. She stayed right there night and day to support our family.  She did the same for others also. I guess the memory I will treasure most when I think of Cody would be at my dad's funeral. She and I were standing at the casket and I couldn't help but cry and she looked at me out of the corner of her eye and she said in a part whisper,"If you cause me to float an eyelash, I'M gonna have to hurt you."  Aunt Cody, I Love you, I miss you and I am so glad that Harvey and I got to see you just shortly before you left us,  I will keep the flower pens you gave me to remind me everyday how generous you were.

I remember how excited Betty,our Big Mamma would get when Aunt Cody was coming to the ranch near Fairburn SD. Big Mamma had us clean and clean. She would go on and on how wonderful it was and how greatful we all were to have Auntie come to visit and that we needed to make it very nice and special. Well we did, but I remember being very exhausted by the time she got there. However, there was never a dull moment. She poked and prodded us three little girls(Lola's girls)We had so much fun, laughed until we cried. After our Big Mamma died and Auntie came to visit us, it was like having time with Big Mamma (Betty) home again. I never realized how much they were alike until then. Their smell, how they fixed up, the rings on every finger. I always told myself I wouldn't dye my hair as they did all those years. Never mind that, I dye my hair. LOL I wish I could say I inherited their beautiful legs and sense of humor,but unfortunately I got mine from the other side of my family. So beautiful and funny, and fun loving. Beaver I hope you are reading this. Do you remember Big Mamma getting the plastic bats out and having semi-sword fights? Every time a Lang came to the ranch, the bats came out.The adults thought it was fun, like whipping a towel at each other, but if Beaver remembers when a Lang was not there and a plastic bat came out it was not for fun, if you know what I mean. When I was older and got to be around Auntie I remember her giving kindness. She would always give you something if you said you liked it. It was hard to compliment her without her giving you something. Another time on the ranch, there were some handsome cowboys and we were peeling boiled potatoes and boiled eggs to make potato salad. I'm not sure why but we got the giggles and a cute cowboy came over to talk to us, maybe this was how it worked. I was naive, and she was single then. Now Auntie,and Big Mamma are with there other brothers and sisters reunited and in top shape, what a blast they must be having in heaven each day!!!

I have always felt such love and wonder over Aunt Cody. As a young girl her turquoise jewelry and perfectly made up ebony rimmed eyes and lashes mesmerized me. Later in life as I witnessed her work ethic I added a role-model and respect. As she cared for various sick relatives; I appreciated her demonstration of family love. She always looked perfect, had a good-encouraging word for anyone, and approached life with the ability to "spin it" to the good.  In my close family I am known for my baked beans, it's sometimes irritating that I always get asked to bring the beans; but I will admit; they are good!  Few know that it was Aunt Cody that taught me --we were at mom and dads and she was cooking for the masses (my favorite!).  She gave me one lesson, no questions allowed. She was ingredients, speed and talk spiced with comedic antidotes in gorgeous motion.  When complete, she opened the oven, put them in, looked at me and said, "Set them at 300 and cook them down - DO NOT open the oven".  That was the lesson; I paid attention; it paid off: I also have the good fortune that her name, Coranne, and mine, Corinne are just one letter different; that makes me stronger. I loved everything about her!

It must have been about the early 80's at one of the Lang Family reunions at Uncle Fred's house.  I was about 13 years old and was down in the garage area where the band was playing. When I looked up the driveway and from up over the horizon appeared Aunt Cody and Aunt Betty. The Blonde and the Black haired Lang women! They were dressed in their finest clothes and they were blinged out, or in other words, encrusted with jewelry.  The afternoon sun glistened off their hair, maybe it was from all the hairspray to make it that high! I ran up to say hi, as I hadn't seen either of them for some time, but by the time I got to them, there was a flock of others that had started to swarm around them.  I squeezed in and hugged them quickly and let them continue on their way to visit with others and to the festivities.  I didn't get much of a chance to talk to them that day. But now when I think of either of them, I remember them appearing on the horizon walking with the sun on their shoulders and all their grandeur. - Lisa Oestreich (grand daughter of Vivian, daughter of TC)

Aunt Cody and Aunt Betty used to come from Dakota for a visit, how excited sister Linda and I were to see them (dripping with silver and turqois) we just adored them! Aunt Cody always stood straight and head held high- a proud strong woman, yet sexy and kind. She was there when doctors told my mom (Vivian) that we should take dad off life support, as she held moms hand she said "time to let your cowboy go home now" I thank heaven she was there!  So many good times too. I shall never forget. Luv ya Aunt Cody

Remembering you ... 

Remembering you in your big floppy hat by the sea ...
Remembering you with your dark glasses in the desert so sandy ...
Remembering you listening to the car radio as Manilow sang Mandy ... 
Remembering you laughing & smiling & so happy & full of life ...
Remembering you leaving your footprints under the summer sun ...
Remembering you for things we maybe shouldn't have done, though at the time, we had so much fun ...
Remembering you for many years of moments in my mind so deep ...
Remembering you for the precious memories you gave me to keep ...
I love you
I miss you
I thank you

I have a lot of great memories of Aunt Cody. She was outrageous and yet beautiful at the same time. 
When Carolyn and I were dating, Cody and Boudon were living in Fred and Lorraine's "little house". I showed her the ring I was going to give Carolyn. She got so excited and told me that Carolyn was going to go nutsy.
Carolyn and I got our first dog, Brut, from Cody and Boudon right after we got married.
We had the privilege of being youth leaders at church for Beaver, Cary and Curtis. We've have special memories of our camp out at Spirit Lake at Mt. St. Helens. 
I had the very special privilege of spending a lot of time with Kim during his difficult final days. Cody was a huge support to both Kim and Vicky during that period. I'm sure this was one of Cody's darkest periods of her life, yet she always remained optimistic. 
Cody was certainly one of a kind. There won't be another like her and I am honored to have been able to call her my friend and "aunt". I know she loved Jesus and is now in his comforting arms, along with Kim.

Aunt Cody has been a part of my life off and on always.  I always looked forward with such anticipation when I got to see her as a child and see what she was wearing and how she looked!  She was so beautiful in my eyes.  Altho she was in and out of my life she was always there for me, like babysitting a sick child when I needed to work or just cheering you up and cracking one of her jokes.  She gave Steve this hat to wear, when I protested and said she could use it next year for Christmas, she said she would be ringing bells somewhere else and wouldn't be needing it...and yes I know you are Aunt Cody.  I know you are in a perfect body now and I am happy for you.

Aunt Cody was such a fun-loving woman who had a great sense of humor and fashion (well, if the fashion included black, black, and more black!) She and Aunt Betty sure did love their black clothes.  Not to mention the black eyeliner precisely caressing each eye lid as though Picaso had done it for her.  As a young girl, I would watch them both closely and always thought to myself that one day, my eyelids were going to look as beautful as theirs.  Aunt Cody always loved a good joke and I think that her sense of humor was just simply indigenous to the Lang clan.  Such wonderful memories of all those family reunions.  Memories that I will have forever.  I miss you and I love you.  Becky

I will miss my great aunt Cody making me Tuna sandwiches!  What a bright light she was in all of our lives. Rest in peace my darling.  I love you.  To our family I wish you peace and my condolences.

Sincerely,
Michelle Morris

I will always remember Aunt Cody's fun-loving spirit.She was the first adult to put me in her lap while she was driving. I was 6 & felt so important, though I would have steered us into the Duwamish River if she hadn't been holding the wheel with me. She also taught me how to tumble...on a' boat. She knew how to have a good time in nearly any situation.

My Dear Sister Cody, I loved you so much, you were my hero, I'm so happy for all the things we shared, and to have you close to me for 3 wonderful years, it is my deepest regret that it couldnt have been longer.I know that you know that it will not be long before I join you as my cancer is spreading at a breakneck speed, so save me a special place cause I will need my beloved family...I miss calling you every day.. Life really has been a wonderful blessing. We had the BEST Family anyone coud ever ask for..You wrer a sister above and beyond what anyone could ever dream for..Now I lost my 15 minutes of whining..but i know that you will have some great one liners for me to chew over, and I treasure them..Maybe God will tatoo your eyeliner on and bless you with long blonde tresses so they will go with your newly accuried wings!! I Love You With All My Heart and Soul....Dixie aka Dickie Wee the mountain pig!!

Dear Aunt Cody, you  personally impressed me with a few things I wish to share. Here they are. #1.No matter how old you are, take notice what you look like because other people are the ones who see you.#2.Never be without your  eyeliner. #200 Cover Girl Black Ebony to be exact! #3.Long blond hair doesn't just have to be for 20 somethings! #4.Have some goodies around for the help. Make friends with them. #5.If you need a reason to smile, look at pictures of young kids and laugh about the funny things they say. #6.Limit your gripping. #7.Learn a few good wisecracks.They lighten the mood when things get heavy.
I love you dear Aunt Cody. I sense you are breathing deeply in heaven. No shortage of breath there, for the Giver of Breath has plenty to go around. I will miss you, thanks for all of the wonderful impressions that you left behind. xoxo Cherie aka Feetheart

Aunt Cody was a special caring woman, so full of Love. Always giving & taking care of someone. She was more like a Grandma to our girls & a Mom to me, we called her the "other Mom". She had a good mind & memory right up to the end (last days). She reminded me, it's been 33 years since we first met in Seattle, & I became part of the family. She had a memory for dates! She never went without saying I love you & giving hugs.... I miss you already, but I know you are resting now. I Love you & big hugs!
