Ming, there are no words to express the sadness that we all feel. I can only imagine how unbearable your pain is and how much your heart hurts. Please know that Aleks and Derek and I are here for you and you are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Travis will never be forgotten Ming and you were the greatest mother- always wanting the best for him. You raised him to be sweet and to have a big heart.
