Diann- My heart is heavy right now, so I know how you and Steve and the family must be feeling. I also know that you are a strong woman of God and that you will lean on your faith, one another, and the precious memories of your life with Travis for your comfort and strength during these days and days to come.
I will miss Travis! It seems like he has been a part of my family forever! I have vivid memories of the many games of football that were played in Mama James’s front yard back when Steve was just a little tyke. Mama James would fuss and say they were tossing that baby around like he was the football. Travis would just laugh, and you could tell how much he loved that little boy he was tossing around and how proud he was of his tenacity. And Travis was such a talented and interesting man. He told some good stories about experiences he had in his career, and even better stories about your travels. I always knew that his love of traveling was second to his love for his traveling companion. More than once he said that you should only go to a certain place with someone you love. So sweet.
I will always be grateful for how Travis, along with you, rescued the East Texas home place. I love that place and I love him for loving it, too. Now he has claimed the promises of his Savior and has gone to his perfect, eternal Home. Diann, I know you rejoice for that. We love you. Peggy
