Travis

I've been thinking SO much about Travis and feel so sad that I didn't say more about how wonderful he was in my post. I miss him so much. He was the most brilliant person I've ever known. He was the perfect combination of book smarts and creativity. He was so witty and always made us laugh. I would tease him that he wasn't funny and that probably bothered him more than if someone told him he wasn't smart! He had the bluest eyes you've ever seen and I'm so glad that my kids have them too, it will always remind me of him. Travis had a very tender heart, as a kid he couldn't watch Bambi because it was too sad...as an adult his heart was just as sweet. He always watched out for the little kids when our family was together. Travis and I built countless clubhouses as kids, played legos for hours, dug tunnels through the sand and loved to catch "craw-dads" in our backyard. We'd then put them in our little swimming pool and make them fight (Travi's idea)! Travis once dug up a snapping turtle with his foot--thinking it was a rock; we were so grateful that it didn't hurt him! I know the memories will continue to flow as I join my family on Wednesday. The Funeral will be on Thursday at 2 pm at the Mormon church in Vidor, Texas.

Thank you all SO much for the kind posts, the phone calls, the emails, the prayers and the love. It is carrying me through at this time.

Love,
Sarah
