To the family of Ann Cody,
My mom, Claire Jacobson, was a good friend. I knew Ann well and she had attended my mom’s 90th birthday party and many times came to my mom’s house over the years.  In fact, I picked up your mom numerous times from her home just a short distance from my mother. Ann was amazingly smart and “with it” for her age.  At dinners, she always had the most insightful, well-educated things to say.  It’s incredible to me that my mom and Ann passed within weeks of each other recently.  2021 has been a very tough year. I just spoke to Ann at the end of August to let her know my mom passed.  I just wanted all of you to know how special Ann was to our family.  

97 1/2 years young indeed. Anna was always smiling and positive, from the first time I met her a half century ago when she moved into our southwest Miami neighborhood along with Harry and the children.  For decades the Codys were friends with my parents James and Elizabeth Kilbride, two doors away.

Anna was so thoughtful and sharing. When there was a late afternoon knock on the door we knew it was big favoritism of Mrs. Cody bringing a fresh supply of homemade treats. Until a few years ago those late afternoons would also feature Anna walking across the street to feed the neighborhood cats. They knew just where to go. 

The last time I spoke to Mrs. Cody a few months ago she wanted to know how I was doing and also inquired about my sisters Kathleen and Cristin. Anna was being helped on a short walk but as always didn't want to make the conversation about herself. She did love to brag about Beth and the rest of the family. Those were dependably the biggest smiles of all.

My condolences to Beth and the Cody family.

Gary Kilbride
