I am so sorry for your loss. I hate dmd so much. Rest assure your son is now in no pain and he is not hurting like us parents. Nick is no longer hurting in any way. I believe our boys while watching over us are smiling and running and playing like they did not do on earth. Stay strong. xxxx

Sometimes words are just not enough or to much. And all you really need is a shoulder to cry on or to talk ...someone who will just listen. Maybe a hug. A safe & loving hug...something to put that smile back on your face. Well one thing you can smile about....he is right there next to you smiling down at you. Do you feel that extra wind or like someone just gave you a peck on your face, or you felt like a breeze on your arm. He's there...next to you. Safe hugs, Dee n' Tim Bird

Kathy and Roger,
I was so saddened and sorry to learn that Travis had passed. I know he was loved by all and touched so many others in his life he will be missed greatly. I will remember the many stories you shared with me over the years about elevator rides and GPS travels. He was always smiling and an inspiration to all.
You and your family are in my thoughts....

We are full of sorrow and wish words could comfort. You and Roger and family provided Travis with so much love and the best of care. We will never forget how much you shared of his life and that is a testament to the human spirit and strength and courage. He made us laugh and we loved seeing his big beautiful smile. We have all grown to love you and your family Kathy. I think Travis touched so many lives because he truly lived life. Much love to your family from ours.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes I watched you and saw you pass away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay. God broke my heart to prove to me, he only takes the BEST.

My heart was so sad, I agonized over what to say, both to you all & to Brianna. She loves Travis SO much! I decided not to tell her before bed, but in the morning. Brianna, ever the intuitional soul, made it easy on me...she woke up in the middle of the night & asked what was wrong. I told her, and when she saw the candle burning, she asked if that was for Travis. I said, "Yes", and she said she wanted to light one for him too. She got very quiet while looking at the candles & then cried. She said, "Travis doesn't need a wheelchair now - his soul can FLY."
Then she asked me if I would sleep in her room. I did...and the last thing she said was, "I'm going to dream about Travis & Kathy & Roger... and all the fun stuff we used to do."
I thought that is about the best way to honor someone, to keep them in your thoughts & dreams.
