This morning I noticed the huge, blue bow, and this afternoon saw the many flowers against the same tree, of a home I drive past and have admired since the day it was built. Then it hit me~this is Travis' home! I felt the anguish of his best friend at church on Sunday, then witness a family member creating that precious memorial today.
Our daughter is a senior at BDHS and the class of 2011 will forever be touched by the all too short lives of three precious classmates. Your dear son will never be forgotten.

There are no words to express how sad my heart is for you and your families. Travis, always, was such a fun child to be around. His big smile and the twinkle in his eyes made you laugh. My prayers are with you that your sorrow will heal with the all the fond memories and your hearts will be filled with his laughter.
