Comments: Living on in our hearts
Randy, Claudia, Brandon and Jared,
A recent memory of Travis has come to mind lately, of him walking down the stairs off the back deck of your home, with that easy walk, smile, and twinkle of humor in his eye. I couldn't help but think what a man he had grown into! I will love and miss him always. I wanted to say how much I admire your strength, courage, love, and ability to hold each other up through the difficult days. Claudia was telling Jared recently that she wished Travis was still here, alive. Even though she rephrased it a few times , Jared kept repeating " he is ". She said his words really lifted her up. It's amazing how God always gives us what we need through those closest to us.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Love ya lots, Elizabeth

Comments: Our Thoughts Are With You
We offer our sympathy upon the passing of your son, Travis.
As the rains end in Forest Ranch and the warmth of spring renews the flowers, the budding of the oaks, and yes, even our green grasses, may this renewal of new life be also what awakens healing for all of you. And in the quiet moments when you hear the gentle winds in our trees, may you feel the spirit of your son wrap around you and know that he is with his Heavenly Father and at peace. Also, may these words from a favorite blessing of mine be a part of you...
May Christ be your guide through the day.... Your hope through the night.... And your companion on the way....
Wishing you blessings and comfort.

Comments: Love for both of you and family
It's been sometime since the celebration of Travis' life. We've been praying for all of you everyday. I can't say when the pain will go away and only our memories hold us up but if I was there beside you both now, I would just hold you in my arms and love you.
I wished we would have visited more now, so I could have known your Travis better. I have been reading all the papers you put in this memorial and Travis was an exceptionally bright and sensitive person. I know God thought you were the perfect parents to let you raise Travis for the time HE wanted Travis here on earth. Someday we will have all the answers and then we all will see Travis again in heaven.
I better close for now..Claudia..call me anytime you just need to talk with someone.......love your cousin Shelly!

Comments: Travis and I were very close for about half of high school. He was a pretty misunderstood guy because he was so outspoken and candid. That's what I loved about him. The side of himself that he let everyone see was typical goofball Trav, always cracking jokes, giving people a piece of his mind, and making teachers really EARN their salary. There was a whole other part of him that many people never got to experience. I honestly feel so lucky that I got to know him well enough to be one of those people. He and I could spend hours on the phone sharing and talking about everything: religion, memories, our dreams and goals, EVERYTHING. One time we were on the phone for literally 4 hours. It was during the summer and we talked from 10pm until 2am about nothing in particular. That has been my longest phone conversation ever and it will hold that title for many, many years. Travis was honest, hard-working, loyal, and the most genuinely nice guy I have met in my life. One thing I can hold onto is the memory that in the midst of our meaningless and fleeting high school years we had a true friendship that was meaningful and sincere.

Comments: Thinking of You
Claudia and Randy, I have been thinking about you constantly, and after seeing Claudia last night I went to check the web site again. I'm crying at work. It is hard for me to look at, but it is beautiful. I looked at the picture of Travis and Brigette leaning against our car on one of the last trips we took together to get a Christmas tree. I measure events in my own life on how old Travis must have been at the time. We were looking at our wedding pictures and couldn't believe how small he was in the front as our little candlelighter. Keep updating the web site. It is wonderful. I loved the beach house writing.

Comments: Overcoming fear...
Hey You Guys,
I finally got enough nerve up to get online and look up this site. It's great! But like I thought, I've done nothing but cry and cry. If it's this hard for me I can't imagine how it must be for all of you. I like what Theresa Kirkby said..."I hate that he's gone." There's hardly a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of Travis. Maybe we will all see a greater meaning to all of this but today...it hurts and I am very sad. I know that when I hurt it helps to know others hurt, too. So I hope these words will help lessen the pain you all carry today.
Love, Willene and family

Comments: Remembering Travis Robbins
I can remember the first time I met Travis, it was in 8th grade at Marsh. What a funny character. Even in high school Travis always had a sense of humor that made everyone laugh. Travis will forever live on, in the hearts of all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and relitives who have lost so much. His spirit will echo in time for all eternity. Rest in peace my friend, I shall see you in heaven. Rachael

Comments: Remembering Travis
Because Travis came into our daughter's life, he came into ours as well. What a privilege to have had our lives intersect, though briefly, and leave his mark. My heart was drawn to Travis immediately. Thank you for sharing him with us and being so transparent about his life. And now . . . he gets to see Jesus first!
