We had a great relationship and I always enjoyed my time with him. He was a very special person. People like him is the reason I became a nurse. I will miss him and his laughter very much. Thanks for sharing your family member with me. It is a memory I will cherish. Marcie Bryars Young younrhet@cableone.net I am so so sorry to hear of Travis's passing, he was such and incredible soul.

They were both very special to me and I am thankful that I have such wonderful memories with them! I just wanted to express my deepest condolences. With Love, Marcie Young
