There's a special angel in heaven
That is a part of me
It is not where I wanted him
But where God wanted him to be

He was here but just a moment
Like a night time shooting star
And though he is in heaven
He isn't very far

He touched the heart of many
Like only and angel can do
I would've held him more often
If the end I only knew

So I send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of my angel
And send him all my love

Love ,
Grandma Jeanne and Papa Jeff

To Travis:

Although you lived a short time
You gave a lot of Love
You were a treasured gift
Sent from up above
You cared about the people
You thought of as your friends
And even though you aren't here
That friendship never ends
Someday you will all be reunited
And free to show your Love
In that beautiful garden, Heaven
So peaceful, up above.

---V. A. Schiess

Prayer Card

The blow was great
the shock severe
we little thought
the end was near
and only those who have lost
can tell
the pain of parting
without farewell.
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you did not go alone
a part of us went with you
the day GOD called you home.
nothing can ever take away
the love a heart holds dear.
fond memories longer every day
rememberence keeps him near.

Travis,
Your light shone bright for all who knew you. Although you are gone from the Earth you will never be gone from the hearts of all who's lives you have touched. Sometimes a short life can have more meaning and touch more hearts than one that lives 100 years. You will be missed.

Hey Trav, I love you and miss you dearly. I want you to know that you were one of a kind. I could never ask for anyone better than you. You were one of my little brothers. You were our sunshine. You were my everything. I dotn know exactly what to say. I cried like a baby when I found out that you left us and went to Heaven. I have cried every day since then. You had a very beautiful service. It was everything you would have wanted. Its a shame that it took so much to happen for everyone to come together. Travis, you were such a wonderful person. I wont even say kid. You had alot of things thrown at you at such a young age and you dealt with it remarkably. I love you Boogie Man. xoxo. Youll be in my heart forever. ~love your big cousin Amber Ranaye~

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
