I first met Mrs. Travasos when Timothy and I were teamed together to provide a presentation at a 4-H competition. I always remembered her greeting me with a hello and a bright smile. She had a caring, hospitable, and welcoming spirit that shall be missed.

Our hope and prayer is that each of the children and family members receive the comfort offered by the Holy Spirit unto those who believe and have Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

From your Devall Middle School and Port Allen High School classmate.
