    I just would love the opportunity to tell Mr. ans Mrs. Travolta how very sorry I am for their lost. I lost my son as well and it is not normal my heart bleeds for someone like this couple whom have a lot of happiness in life until this tragic accident. I pray nightly for our sons. Only time can heal such heart breakers in this life. Please know that you and your precous daughter are thought of .
