Jean, Lynn and family, I would like to express my deepest condolences to all of you in your time of loss. I was so sorry to hear about Trapp passing, but he is in a better place now and isn't suffering. Jean, you can rest assured that you were a great mom, you were there for him and you did everything that you could do. Trapp would not want you all to grieve, but to celebrate the long life that he had, and he will be missed by all whose lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I remembered this story about Trapp and wanted to see if Lynn & Jeff remembered...this was a long time ago...but ya'll invited me to go "water skiing" so I went I didn't water ski I was a spectator : ) but when it was Trapp's turn, he hit a wave and dropped the rope and when he did Jeff yelled "I see a snake in the water" I will never forgot that for once in my life it was like watching "Jesus walk on water" Trapp virtually ran out of that water so quickly it was funny. And the time when he "helped" Jeff out on Halloween nights....or at our Christmas Party when he opened the gift with the "Granny panties" those times were PRICELESS : ) But I think my all time memory of Trapp has to be when he was at the Woodland Cottages...his end tables where made out of cases of Budwiser...and he was so proud : P Good Times...thanks for the memories Trapp!!! You will be so missed.
