Travis was my brother-in-law for over twenty years, but I always felt he was still part of my family. He was kind, funny, and helpful in every way. It is sad to know that he is no longer with us, but I am glad that he is without pain in our Heavenly Home. Love and prayers for his son Mitch, daughter Angela, granddaughter, Nora, and his brothers and the rest of his family. Love, Bill and Lynn Ellen Meredith
