Travis Nifong Zink

Dear Family:

God in His infinite wisdom had a plan laid out for Travis'life from the very day of conception. You, Paul and Sandra, were given a son that loved not only his family but everyone he came in contact with. He was never afraid to say, "I love you" when I would hug him and tell him I loved him! To me, those 3 words are the most important words in the english language. I could always count on a big hug when I saw him with those long arms. To Lee,and Nickey, no question...

To a precious family I would like to let you know that you are in my prayers daily. I share your grief still and I lift you up before God daily in my prayers. My family was touched by Travis and you'll never know the times I find myself thinking about him. He was a true friend and I miss him. May the new year bring you joy and peace and the knowledge that you are loved by so many people.

Dear Family:

Lord, Lord Jesus...

I'm so glad you came...Imagine our lives without Him.

I'm up Lord! It't 6:04 A.M. on this 21st day of December. I'm thinking how a day in paradise would be...Wow,Wow!...I can see the streets of gold and my crown of jewels that awaits me there...when the angels come to take me home! When I get to the "Gates" and you say; "Well done my good and faithful servant."
You may enter in!! I know I will see the glory...

Dear Travis,

Happy Thanksgiving! I miss you already. I am still at home cooking and waiting on the babies to wake up. Michael normally goes early to help Lamarr. Just last year, Michael offered to let me go early and eat breakfast with everybody. I thought it would be nice if we took turns. He never takes pictures and I just snap away. Who would have known that I would have taken one of my most coveted pictures? I know as soon as I walk through the door over there this morning that I...

Dear Travis,

I was online this morning looking through pictures of you and I on the West Side Civic theatre website and it brought back so many memories. You and I swimming at John's, those little "punch" bottles before "Oklahoma", riding with you on your bike, your 21st birthday, MY 21st birthday, you teaching me about power tools, all the laughs we had and so so much more. I think about you all the time and I still can't believe you are gone. I left some flowers for you on...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAVIS!!!

You would be 26 today. Younger but not yet a little brother. Always someone to look up to. Travis you have what many search for but never find or spend way too much money trying to attain: a love for living and just being you. The song by Tim McGraw, "Live like you were dying" reminds me of how you lived your life. You took every opportunity to do the things that most people can't image or dare to do. Getting up before dawn to see the sun rise on the...

To the Zink's, First I would like to say how sorry I am for your loss. Paul and Sandy what a great young man ya'll brought into this world. He had as pure a heart as anyone I have ever meet. There is only one other person with that kind of heart and that is Lee, I know we are cousin's but I can also call them my friend's. I hope I can raise my kid's with that kind of heart and passion for life. Anytime I needed help with anything your son's have been there for me and my family. I miss him...

Lee-
It has been a long time since we have seen each other the last I remember was our cheerleading days at West. I am so sorry for you loss. I got to know Travis a few years ago when he was dating Lori Stevens sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
