Jeffery, Barbara & family,
My heart aches for your family. I wish I could be up there with with you. I am so sorry for Travis's loss & know you miss him here on this earth. Do know he is in heaven & God will take care of you here. He is with some really special "saints" that we all know & love. Think of them welcoming him in! You will feel his spirit from time to time, such as in a gentle breeze, the first spring flower. Steph told me, "every time I see a butterfly, that will be the sign she is in heaven." Hope you all have something special, that you will know! Praying for you.
Love all of you,
Sissy (cleo hayden mccready)

Barbara,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. A parent should never have to endure the pain of losing a child, but with Gods help the pain will ease with time. There are not enough words in the world to describe what you are going through. I shall keep you in my prayers.

Barbara, Jeff and Heather,
It's hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of Travis. God is always in your corner at a time like this, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange and remember that memories are the legacy of love. We cannot take away your pain, but we have an ear to listen, a hand to hold and a heart to share. Don't hesitate to call if you need anything.
Love you all, Jody, Clayborne, Eva, Wanda, Sheena, Stacey, Steven, Lexie and Lacey
