What a great weekend this was last year on this day. We went to Uncle Ben's and took you into N.Y.city. We had you on the path train , subway, taxi-cab, and the fairey boat. We wnt to the History museum, and R.Center to see the Big Tree, and shopping for your Mom and Dad, and Callie for Christmas. And then for a great supper at Virgils, you enjoyed the meal so much.Then the trip home when we hit the ice storm, you wrote your name on the window inside the motel room because it was so cold. You missed school that Monday because we could not drive on the ice.What a Great weekend we had I will never forget the fun we had.We love you and miss you so much this Christmas, Love and Miss you for ever.

Today, we had the first family reunion of the Myers-Dillon family. It was so great to see everybody - many that we haven't seen in years. We missed you dear boy and wished you were there. But you were not forgotten, as we all remembered you, missed you and talked about what a great and wonderful boy you were. Love you.

For 10 years this was a very happy day, but today it is a sad day for all of us that love and knew Jake. He brought great joy to all of his family and friends. Happy Birthday to the sweetest, smartest, and most thoughtful boy in the world. We all have a big hole in our hearts, but Jake was a very special boy and he was needed in Heaven. We will always miss him and love him and pray for his Dad, Mom and Callie.

Travis,Wendy and Family,
Hello,this is Corinna's Mom and I check this web site everyday. I noticed it's been a while since there has been anything posted.I guess I'm like most people we all would like to say something,---------anything to make it better for you and your family but I know that there's very little people you don't even know or hardly know at all can do. I just wanted to let you know that I feel great sadness in what you're going through. I guess I just wanted to let you know that and that I think of you everyday. Cathy

Travis, and Wendy, I'm so sorry for the loss of your first born, and the devastation that you are feeling. I remember all the stories you told, Travis of Jake, at work. I know he was the apple of your eye. I have nothing to say that would make you's feel better, obviously, but, you are in my prayers. Take care.

I've known Jacob since he was a twinkle in his Daddy's eye. I visited him soon after he was born in Guam. He was a beautiful child and I wish there is something I could do to turn back time to bring him back to his family. I know they loved him more than anything. I can't say I know how they feel but it is said there is no greater pain than to lose a child, especially one as special as Jacob.
God Bless you guys.

Jacob 'JD' was a really amazing kid. I tutored his class this year while he was in Mrs. Price's room. Whenever I was having a bad day he could tell and he would always crack a joke to make me feel better. I will miss him very much and so will everyone that knew him. Rest In Peace JD. May God be with you.

Shearer Family,
You don't know us but, we were very saddened to hear about your son. My husbands (Dave) sister was your sons bus driver and she is the one who told us about your son. She was very heartbroken about what had happened to your son. We have been praying for your family since we got the news. Please know that there is only one who can ease your pain at this time and that is our Lord and Saviour. God has a reason for everything that happens even though it might not seem fair to us. Our ways are not Gods ways.We will never understand until we get to heaven someday. The only thing we can do right now is to tell folks about Jesus and what he did for us on Calvary. He died for our sins so we can go to heaven with him someday. All we have to do is to believe that he died for our sins and trust him to take us to heaven with him someday. It takes a childlike faith to do this. I pray that your family is 100% sure that you'll be in heaven someday? You can be sure.If you ever need to talk or need anything please contact us.We will continually pray for your family. God bless.
Dave & Audy Knotts

I was very saddened when i heard about Jacob's death. Please remember that God may have had other plans for Jacob. One's loss is God's gain. Also consider, our Heavenly Father promises not to put more on us then we can bear. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Travis, Wendy & family members,
I would like to extend my symathies to you and your family. I too lost a little boy (5 1/2) & a step grandson (11). The hurt is so great & you think the pain will never end but with time it does ease up a little. The memories will always be there. Please know that you now have a beautiful little angel in Heaven to watch over you. He may even be playing with my little boy & grandson. We may not understand why these things happen but someday we will all be together again & know why.
Sincerely,
June Carr

Wendy and family,
You are in the thoughts and prayers of my family and I. Jake was a very loving and wonderful boy, and we were saddened to hear of his departure. He did so much good. Perhaps he had more good to do elsewhere… and perhaps one day the good in this will show itself to you. I believe that there is a good behind everything. Sometimes we just can’t see it right away, but somewhere it is there. I feel for your loss and hope for peace for your hearts.
Many Blessings to you and your family.
