Not sure what to say?

You are still missed very much today as you were the day you passed away. I know you never got to meet Elizabeth, but I am sure you met her before she made her way into this world. Sometimes her spunky self reminds me of you! I have known since she was a baby she knew of you the way that she talked and talked to your picture. Later telling me it was papa.

To the family of Wayne Travis:
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. I am a cousin of Wayne's. My father was a brother to Ernest. I never met Ernest but Frank & Martha brought Aunt Clara and Ruby to Fallon for a visit in the summer of 1990. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to meet the family at the Frank & Martha Travis reunion. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear about the death of your father/father-in-law and "Pa-Pa".

I did not know him personally but Cheryl has shared many experiences with me down through the years, and it gave me a pretty good idea that he was a very hard worker and the kinds of things he liked and were important to him in everyday life.

I know you will all will miss him greatly. Please accept my deepest sympathies and condolences....
