Elizabeth Sparks Profile
I am Liz Sparks and was privileged and honored to be the mom of PFC Cody J. Thompson. Our son took his life on 02 December 2008. Since that time, I no longer work as a trauma nurse but now continue my son's legacy of "paying it forward" to help others who have suffered the same loss. There is hope and we get through it but we don't get over it... Stoicism is not Heroism.
