Tiffany and Loraine, you are in my prayers for the strength, comfort, and peace that only our Lord can provide. I love you both very much and treasure the memories of good times we shared. I can't help but smile when I picture my Daddy and Travis reunited in Heaven. I was thinking of my favorite memory of Travis. I was probably about 6 or 7 and had spent the night with Tiffany at the lake. I remember being scared of the water that summer. I had on my little old school, over the neck, bright orange life jacket ...Lol. Tiffany and I were playing and I fell off the dock. I freaked out and was hollering and having a fit just flailing around. Travis stepped over and stood very silently with his hands on his hips watching me until I finally calmed down and I realized I was floating and fine in my life jacket the whole time. He then reached down and lifted me back onto the dock with a little smile in his eyes. That was the last day I feared the water....been swimming like a fish all these years! I love you, Travis.
