On behalf of the family of Travis Godsey and the Browers, we will remember many times of joy and happiness. The time you rode up in the odd electric car. Riding horses and bicycles. Sitting on the back porch soaking up the sun, walking around and seeing the flowers, trees and plants that you'd always stop and smell and see that smile on your face like a breath of fresh air. Esp making sure I (your niece) never fell off the horse and if I did you made me get back on! Yes, we will miss you and surely see you in Heaven along with my Dad, Travis, Uncle Johnny and many others. I will see you there. Until then, hold a yellow rose in your hands and wait for me at the gate. God Bless, Aunt Jean.
