My family and I would like to share our sincere sorrow on the loss of someone so dear to you and we want to express our deepest sympathy to all of the Family. Many times we can draw comfort from those who express their love and concern for us at times like these. In the future Jesus will undue the damage to mankind, caused by Satan’s rebellion against God. Isaiah 25:8 states that death will be done away with forever and that the tears will be wiped from all faces. What a wonderful blessing this will be for all of mankind. I hope that these words bring you much comfort and support as you reminisce on the fond memories that you have of Travis.
