Billie, Lanell, Robby & Family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. In our earlier years at WHBC, Travis so looked forward to Sunday mornings, greeting and ushering with Glenn, Travis thought so much of him and thoroughly enjoyed being around him. Just know our thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this time of grief. We pray that God will give you the peace and comfort you need.
