The thoughts and prayers of the Lauterbach family are with you today and always.

There are no words to express how deeply sorry we are for your loss. May our Lord and Savior wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace and grace that surpasses all understanding.

My sincerest, and deepest sympathy on your loss of Husband, Father, Son, and Friend. I also want to give my deepest Thanks to Travis for being so willing and proud to defend HIS and OUR COUNTRY. He exemplifies what it means to be AN AMERICAN. I pray God give you PEACE in this time of loss and to let you know HE is beside you and understands your pain. God Bless your Family and as always...GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I'm just an American wanting to share the sorrow for your loss. Your son is a hero and I want to say quot;THANK YOU quot; for his service to protect our country. I also have the notice that was in the Monday New York Times. If you would like it I would be honored to sent it to you. You may email me with an address you wish it be sent. Again, I can't express my sorrow for your loss in words. I can only hope that you find comfort in your memories. Sincerely, Coni Roberts

My Deepest sympathy for your loss. Our Country Thanks-You for your sacrifice. Stay With Me, God Stay with me, God. The night is dark, The night is cold: my little spark Of courage dies. The night is long; Be with me, God, and make me strong. I love a game; I love a fight. I hate the dark; I love the light. I love my child; I love my wife. I am no coward. I love Life, Life with its change of mood and shade. I want to live. I'm not afraid, But me and mine are hard to part; Oh, unknown God, lift up my heart. You stilled the waters at Dunkirk And saved Your Servants. All Your work Is wonderful, dear God. You strode Before us down that dreadful road. We were alone, and hope had fled; We loved our country and our dead, And could not shame them; so we stayed The course, and were not much afraid. Dear God that nightmare road! And then That sea! We got there-we were men. My eyes were blind, my feet were torn, My soul sang like a bird at dawn! I knew that death is but a door. I knew what we were fighting for: Peace for the kids, our brothers freed, A kinder world, a cleaner breed. I'm but the son my mother bore, A simple man, and nothing more. But-God of strength and gentleness, Be pleased to make me nothing less. Help me, O God, when Death is near To mock the haggard face of fear, That when I fall-if fall I must- My soul may triumph in the Dust.

It is this sad occasion that reminds all of those who have served, are serving, and will serve in the defense of our nation the important bond we all share with our Air Force family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chris, Don and all their family and friends.

Cathy and I are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to Chris, Don and all their family and friends as well as Travisâ€™ co-workers. Please let us know if we can do anything for you.

Our hearts reach out for you Krista, Elijah, and Gabby. You are all in our thoughts, and we never forget the wonderful friends we made in the Air Force. Working with Travis at Moody AFB was an honor #45;-he was highly intelligent, driven to perfection, mature beyond his years, and his conduct set the standard for his fellow Airmen. Most importantly, he was a good man and a good friend. He will be missed and fondly remembered. All our best. Howard, Lori, and Danny Smith
