Dear Mike and family, I just heard of the loss of your son. Although I only met him a few times when you came thru the door at Home Depot, and by all the guest book signatures, all I can say is, he was an awesome son and person, and who will always will be in your hearts and constant daily thoughts and to all those that knew him. My heart hurts for all of you; I cannot imagine what you are going through and will continue to go through. My condolences and prayers to all of you.

So sorry to hear that Pat has joined Travis in Heaven. It was so nice of him to make the 800 mile round trip to his funeral last year. So many of them showed up, I squeezed in 2 more as pall bearers (Pat of course included since he knew him the longest). It's a long painful road, but you will get through it!
