Travi, I can’t believe you’re gone. My tears still flow over the loss of you. I loved you as one of my own for the years you spent in our home and at our table. I have so many fond memories of you – so many deep conversations and debates. I will never forget the time you overcooked some hardboiled eggs and they blew up. You panicked and had that kitchen spotless before I ever got home. It was only because of your confession that i ever knew about it, and what a laugh we had over that!! You were a very bright young man and we all loved you so very much. I missed you that day you stopped by and I will forever regret that! I know you are with our Lord and Savior and it was an honor to give you His Word with your name inscribed in it. I knew you would spend time reading it being the avid reader that you were! I heard a song in church that made me think of you…”better one day in His house – better one day in His courts than a thousand elsewhere…” and now you are in His presence! I will see you on the otherside – you can count on it. I love you Trav! I’m praying for your beloved family. Nancy Fiscus – Moorpark, Ca

Travis I am so missing you today…..and so does everyone else! I read these entries and they just floor me as to the legacy you have left and the footprint you left on so many people. Forever holding onto your prescence and wisdom. I was the luckiest out of all of them though….I AM your sister and I am your friend we were so connected!
We had so many talks and I cherish them all now. I can remember our last conversation as if it happened yesterday and oh how I wish I did not have to go when I did…You were so excited and so proud of yourself that day! I was so proud of you and I remember hanging up thinking to myself how happy you sounded and i smiled. It has been 26 days since your passing and it feels as though you were just here. I miss you so much and I just want to call you and here “hey, sister” on the other end. I so need to talk to you…I need your words of wisdom and your laugh of “come on sister”!
Yesterday we had your nieces birthday party and I stood there while we were singing “happy birthday” wishing so much for you to be there…it just was not right. There are so many not rights now…every moment of every minute of everyday is now a “not right”. When will it be right? Will I ever sleep again completely, will I ever smile at the thought of you rather than sob…will I ever be able to fully convey the TRUE you to people who were not given the gift of knowing you…Will I ever not need to be on the computer every time the kids sleep in order to consume as much of “you” as possible…will i ever “not pray that mom and dad will be able to get through yet another day without their son”? or that Jennifer, Trevor and Taylor do not weep to many tears without me holding onto them. I so tried to be your big sister and protect you from harm and any wrong doing…I was hard on anyone who wanted to date you…not forgiving anyone who broke your heart…or hurt you, I wanted to protect you from the cold bitter reality life sometimes dished out…I tried to be that bright light for you – to guide you through life unharmed as BIG sisters are supposed to do…I was felt I was able to protect you from everything and yet I was unable to protect you from this, the worse fate of all…although, then I think you are with God how can that be the worse fate? For me it is…and it is because all along it was you PROTECTING me from the cold bitter reality life sometimes dealt us, you that would stand up for me at whatever the cost…you that stood by me and picked me up when I fell! All along I thought it was me, but now that you are gone I realize how raw life is without you in it! So it is me that is in the worst fate of all…
I remember my wedding day when after it was over you and Eddie were talking and you told him how much you liked his brother and how cool he was…and Eddie replied “ya, sorry…you are probably going to like him more than me” Dave was the outgoing crazy one and you said with your perfect smile “oh no, don’t get me wrong, I like your brother and can’t wait to party with him again, but if he was going to marry my sister I would have a “@*$%*@!” problem with that” You made Eddie feel so great that night, you made him feel accepted by you and that was important to him knowing how much your opinion and YOU meant to me. He always said “don’t cut your hair” and I always replied “I can’t, my brother would kick my arse”. :
So now I am lost…I do not have my guide and I am afraid to continue this path without you as we always walked it together…you got me through all the bumps in my life and you were the one holding the pom poms when I succeeded! I am not sure how to go on without you here…I seem to walk in circles…Oh Trav, I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I need you little brother…it is just not OK here without you. I know someday it might be easier but I can not seem to see the sun through all the clouds…i can no longer find that light at the end of the tunnel. You were my “candle in the wind” and the “wind beneath my wings” forever and always my little b

You are the flame that never dies
Although we hurt and you hear our cries
Thinking of what it is you might say
Trying to make it through each and every day
Your memory strong, your spirit bright
You taught us all to be tough and always fight
A smile always present on your face
it was an honor to be in your grace
To see what you mean to so many, to read and to hear
So hard to realize that you are not here
It has now been 4 weeks a month to be exact
Our lives forever changed, never to be again in tact
Your legacy lives, and it is so clear, as you guide us to light
Rest well in our hearts, forever my friend Travis James White

Four weeks today. How is that possible? Four weeks. I hurt today just as much as I hurt four weeks ago…your wonderful Aunt Kay was right, it won’t ever go away, or get better…it just will become a part of each day, missing you…loving you…sunrise, sunset.
I love you son…

Four weeks ago today my life changed FOREVER and it will NEVER be the same…every smile and laugh hurts as quickly as they came, because I can not share with you the reason they were there. My life will never be NORMAL…everyone says in time it will be easier and in time it will get better….it will NEVER get better and it will never be easier to miss you or to not have you here with me and sharing in the lives of your nephew and nieces. I wanted to be an aunt to your kids and to have Matthew teach your son to play basketball…I wanted to hold your son and tell him how much he looked like his daddy and I wanted to tell your daughter that she was the luckiest girl in the world to have you for a daddy! I wanted to walk down the aisle at your wedding and look across the altar and see that SMILE that I loved so much, I wanted to hold your hand the first time your child broke a bone and to tell you it would be OK…I wanted to pick up the phone and hear you say “I am going to be a dad”…I know those are all selfish things, but I wanted those with us…we were supposed to share those things…we were supposed to grow old together and make fun of each others habits or tell each other we turned into our parents. I want those moments WE DESERVE those moments. Everyone tells me not to lose faith and that God had a plan…I don’t care…I want you back and I want you to be there when Matthew graduates High School and heads off to Notre Dame, I wanted you there when your nieces starting walking and started talking…I wanted them to learn how to say “Uncle Travis” from you…I wanted them to know you and to hold your hand the first time they went on a roller coaster or went to their first Rated R movie…I wanted you to tell them jokes that I would not approve of or tell them how the world really worked, because when I say it, it just sounds totally lame! I wanted you to be there when Eddie became a fireman you were so excited for him and I wanted you to be there for my life…for Jens life and our brothers life…the first time Taylor had his first college love and the first time Trevor drank legally…you were supposed to share all this with us…I know I can do those things without you, but Travis I don’t want to! I don’t want to have another moment without you PHYSICALLY in it. It hurts, every waking moment hurts…oh Trav…who will be the one to tell me “it is OK sister, I got it”…there are so many things that hurt right now and so many of those things will NEVER GO AWAY!!
I am missing you more today than ever and I will ALWAYS…
