My thoughts and prayers are with you. Since Travis' death in March, I go back and remember all the good times we had and the times we had with the Hesser's are definitely one of my fondest memories. Your family came up in our conversations from time to time as we talked about all the good times we had with everyone that touched our lives in one way or another. It was certainly our good fortune to have known the Hesser family and to have spent good times with you. Your family will always have a special place in the memories that will last forever.
