Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with the Bass Family. Travis was amazing, brilliant, and kind. I will always remember his devious smile while we were meeting with the City of Issaqauh, as we considered strategies.

Please be gentle with yourselves while you go thru this hard time, and remember to breathe...

I wish you all the best, and if there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to call.
