Our Dear Son Travis,
We are extremely blessed and proud to be your parents.
You are a gift from God. From the moment you were born, with your
adventurous spirit and unwavering determination, we knew you were very
special. You have brought so much joy and happiness watching you grow
into a con昀椀dent, handsome, intelligent, kind, and talented young man.
There were times when we just didn’t understand why you wouldn’t
just sit down at a young age, but we are so happy that you didn’t because
you became more and more independent (at least you tried to be)
developing to who you are today.
Continue to strive for excellence and keep GOD 昀椀rst because
He will guide you through your phases of this thing called life.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13
Love,
Mom & Dad
