Dear Carlson Family,
I want to express my condolences to you. I remember meeting Travis up at the Capitol when he was advocating for the tech waiver. His efforts (and Stephanie's) made a huge difference for medically fragile children in Utah.
I hope that good memories of Travis and his enormous contribution to the children of Utah, bring you comfort at this difficult time.

You don't know me, or I you, but I too am a parent of one of God's special ones. What a blessing in our lives to be the one God trusted more than anyone else to rear His special childen. My girl is not long for this world either, but I am so humbled by this thought, and grateful for His faith in me. Their salvation is sure, it is we who must work to be where they will be. May the Comforter bring you the sustaining strength you will need during this time. My heart goes out to you, for...

Derek, Stephanie and Family -
First I wish to thank all of you for allowing us to know Travis and grow with him. He taught us much more than we could ever teach him!
Next, I want to think that his work is complete here, but I think it's just beginning =)
Lastly, I know only some of the trials and tribulations your family has faced during my 11 years here in Utah and I admire the way in which you have faced them.
Your family is in my prayers,
Love,
Tammie
