How do we say goodbye? We don't we say see you later. Travis you will surely be missed. Your genuine smile and caring heart was refreshing to say the least. We will miss you while you are gone but we will see you soon. Until then rest in peace my friend. Connie, we love you too. Prayers for the too quiet days ahead. May you feel his peace and comfort.
