My condolences to your family as you mourn the loss of your parents.
Our families were neighbors in Crossett In the ‘50s and my Mother, Maxine Baker Yingling, reconnected with Travis and Helen when she moved to Conway in 1999.
At age 99, Mother’s memory has dimmed but she still recalls walking with Travis & Helen at the recreation center.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sending you love and sympathy for your dad. Our families go back for generations and we heard him called “Bud†with fondness. He frequently said your mother and mine were like sisters. What happy memories we cherish of their loving friendship. May you feel comforted by so many people who love your family.

Travis was a Great Man and true friend to both of us! Sorry for your loss. We will miss the Ginger Snap cookies at Christmas. The Crappie population in Lake Beaverfork will probably thrive now that their biggest enemy is gone!

David,
Jane and I were saddened to hear of your Dad passing. Your Dad and Mom were wonderful hosts when we were traveling a few years ago. Our daughter Leigh kept us informed about how "PAPPY" loved the frequent updates of the twins. Will remember your Dad in daily prayer.
