My Hero

The following is a poem that was written by our niece, Cierra. She read the poem at her choir concert and did an awesome job. It's great to know that Travis is still remembered. He would have been very honored as well as touched by Cierra's words. I know we were. Thanks, Sweetie.

My Hero

My Hero is my Uncle Travis Beus who lost his courageous battle to esphageal cancer. He is my Hero because even though he was sick in bed at the hospital he still managed to keep a smile on his face and take care of his wife and three kids.

He said he was glad it was him who had cancer and not a child or someone in his family.

Something Travis often said was "Life is exactly that, Up's and down's so enjoy with all your soul the up's" - Travis-

And with losing my Uncle Travis, God proved to me that he only takes the BEST!!

That is a great poem. It is no suprise that Trav was loved as much as he was since he was such a great guy.
