Today you have been gone for one and a half years.  I can't believe it still.  Life just keeps going by.  We all miss you so much.  Our family is so fractured without you here.  I would give anything to have you back here living your life.  We are all struggling but getting by.  We need your guidence to get us through most of our days.  I know you are watching over all of us.  Doesn't seem right that the youngest one in the family has to be the one to keep us all safe.  I love you Travis, and miss you so.

Travis,

It has been One year and five months today since you left us.  It seems like only yesterday.  Time goes so fast.  I am amazed at how my life has changed in this time.  I am on this web site off and on all day.  It is the first thing I do in the morning and I the last thing I do every night.  I go to the cemetary at least five days a week.  Just to check on things.  I am so dedicated to keeping your memory alive.  In doing so I hope I am not short changing your brothers.  I know they are still here and need me to be there for them too.  I just can't let you go.  I don't think I ever will. I miss you so much.  Stay with me Travis, I need your guidance.  I am so proud to have been your mother.  I Love you,  Mom

I Miss you more every day!!

Love, Mom

I Never stop thinking about you, and missing you.

Just wish you were here with us!!  I Love You, Mom

Its finally spring.  Its seems that in everything I do and everywhere I go , I think about what you might be doing if you were still here.  You would probably be doing work in your yard, and on your house.  Your rental would have a deck in front by now.  Maybe you would be married by now.  Who knows?  We will never know.  Man, I wish I had lots more time with you.  I guess its a good thing we don't know what is ahead for us because if I'd known you were going to die in a car accident, I'd have never let you out of my site.  I miss you so much Travis.  You were such a big part of my life and this void that I have will never be filled.  I will forever wish God would give you back.  I am so proud of you. With the way you lived your life.  I knew you were special all along and now I know you were also one of Gods chosen ones.  I wonder what you and God do all day?  Is there really a heaven?  Where are you really?  Can you see us?  I need to know you are okay.  I love you Travis and I always will

Hi Travis,  I'm sure that you already know this but after Haylee died we got two more persians.  Ziggy and Bella.  You would love them, especially Ziggy.  He follows me everywhere and is so loving.  I tell everyone he has part of you in him.  He wouldn't leave Sarah alone one day, it was so funny.  He kept jumping onto her lap and she'd push him down. Finally he laid his head on her leg.  She said "Leave it to Travis to come back as a cat"  Funny, knowing how she feels about cats.  Bella is a lot like Haylee was.  I have tried to make them jump up for treats the way you had Haylee doing but I can't seem to do it.  Need you for that.  I need you for lots of things.  Miss you more every day.  Tomorrow is Lexi's 4th Birthday.  She and Madison put some little trolls at your stone.  They are cute.  The little kids won't forget you Trav, we won't let them.  I had the two cats shaved the other day, you know what they look like now.  They have been laying around and sleeping all day, trying to stay warm I imagine.  Heres a cute cat just laying around.  Be at peace Travis, I need to know that you are.     

Travis, time goes forward always ~ Your time to move into the next step of mankind's journey came way to soon as with my son, Craig ~ We who have not yet taken that step long to hear the voice of our loved ones, to touch you, to hold you ~ Your day of crossing over was so much like my Craig's.  He was only 22, a few months younger than you when you crossed over.  He too had an automobile accident in the cold of winter~

We, your Mom, your family and friends and Craig's family and friends and his mom < Me > can only hold on to the promises that we will be reunited with you and Craig.  What a glad reunion day that will be!  I know that your mom's heart breaks into a million pieces each day that she wakes up and faces another day without your presence.  If there is anyway possible to send love, hugs, and kisses then do so...wrap the wind around her tightly as your hug, let the dew of the morning be the kiss on her cheek, let the warmth of the Sun be your love touching her ~

Until we meet on the shores of the Heavenlies

Remembering him is easy...we do that every minute...of every hour...of every day.  Travis, You are always on our minds....We miss you so much....

I love you the more in that I believe

you have liked me for my 

own sake and for nothing else.

" I miss you Travis "

Travis,  We made it through another Holiday without you here with us.  Lance and Trishia came to town, and Shawn and Vallie were here and so was Aaron.  Sarah stopped over also and so did Grandma. With all the kids we had a house full.  We missed you not being here.  We talked about some of the things you used to do and the memories made us smile.  I took Taylor with me to see you today, and she left you some flowers.  She thinks you are in a nice place.  What more could an 8 year old say?  Its good for the kids to remember you.  I don't want any of them to ever forget their Uncle Travis.  Lance and Trishia are expecting again, due in Sept.  They are hoping for a boy, but we'll see.  Life keeps on going even though you are not here.  I hate this.  Your supposed to be here.  I miss your presence in this house.  Your laughter, and your voice.  You loved holidays and the food.  Its so hard to do these things.  I have one of my kids missing and I can't do anything about it.  Just cry a little more and hope that you are watching over me, and that I am doing things the way you would want me to.  I was so proud of you and I miss you so much.  I love you Travis, Happy Easter,  Mom

Happy Easter Travis!!

Travis,

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Today is also Aaron's 33rd Birthday.  Wish you were here.  We miss you so much.  Heres a little St. Paddies' wishes for you.  Love, Mom
