    I reached a couple days ago to make a donation to help with funeral costs, but was told they aren't accepting any more. Let us know if you need help.

    I can't imagine or even offer any advice regarding your loss other than to stay strong. Peace.

    . Foo I appreciate that, as you can imagine the bills for fighting cancer without insurance is very costly. I am really the only person in my family in a position to help my sister out. It has pretty much wiped me out but through the kindness of all our friends we were able to raise enough to pay for the funeral. Now it won't be a kings funeral but it will be nice. I really didn't want to do that website because I don't like to ask anybody for anything but a friend did it and I was amazed by everyone's support. I was planning on selling my Harley to pay the funeral cost but now I don't have to. Really the only thing left is the headstone and it can wait until I can save up the money.

    I'm really sorry for you and your family Trav. We'll send you all the vibes we can.
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    Trav, My most sincere condolences to you and your family. I lost my sister to cancer a number of years ago and still think about her most every day. She will always be in your heart.

    The service for Travis' sister, Tammy, was today and I thought it was a good memorial to her. There was a lot of friends and family present and some laughter and tears as you might imagine. Its very hard to say goodbye to people and know what to say to those closest to them. So, I'll just say I love you brother, and hope you know what I feel in my heart for her and for you.

    Everyone, please keep Trav in your thoughts today. I'm sure there's some sense of relief, as I've gone through it myself, but then comes the reality of going back to the world that's missing a big part of it.
