</tR> </TABLE></div> <div> After more than a quarter century dealing with one serious health challenge after another, following the aneurysm and stroke which left him completely paralysed on the left side in 1982, Travis Edmonson courageously faced a series of excruciating illnesses this year that finally took his life on May 9, 2009.</div> <bR> <div> Though a cancerous lesion was discovered on his lung at the end of 2008, the prognosis was thought to be excellent, but a biopsy just before Christmas left Travis in critical condition with air escaping from his lungs into his entire body.</div> <bR> <div>  After he finally surmounted this exceedingly painful and dangerous condition, an extreme case of shingles followed, and despite encouraging signs after his recovery, his system was so debilitated that he then had to cope with a succession of infections - including pneumonia - that left no possibility for survival despite his own indomitable spirit, incredible care from the medical team, constant support from his dear Rose Marie and an outpouring of prayers/Good Thoughts from yourselves. </div> <bR> <div> Heartfelt condolences go to Rose Marie and Travis' entire family at this time of unbearable loss.</div> <bR> <div> (For more information, you can read the bulletins issued by his website on the page devoted to Travis' Last Illness.)</div> <bR> <div> The family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations in Travis' memory be made to the Pimeria Alta Historical Society.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Pimeria Alta Historical Society</div> <div> Box 2281</div> <div> Nogales, AZ </div> <div> 85628-2281</div> <bR> <div> A public memorial service was held for Travis Edmonson on May 28, 2009 at St. Philips In The Hills Episcopal Church in Tucson, Arizona .</div> <bR> <div> To read the wonderful eulogy by Travis' life-long friend Mike Bartlett, please go to the In Memoriam section which also includes touching tributes from around the world as well as obituaries from the New York Times and other news sources.</div> <bR> <div> So many thanks to everyone who sent prayers, Good Thoughts and heartfelt wishes for Travis </div> <bR> <div> News From Earlier in the Year</div> <bR> <div> In March we celebrated the fourth anniversary of The Travis Edmonson Collection.</div> <bR> <div> The small one-person cottage industry (remastering, design, production, marketing and distribution) owed its success to the generosity and enthusiasm of hundreds of fans who've supported this benefit project to assist Travis with the costs of long-term illness and make his solo recordings as well as the eight from Bud & Travis and those of The Gateway Singers available in respectful CD remasters.</div> <bR> <div> In March we published Patricia Thompson's wonderful story about <A HREF="patthompson.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Pat Thompson on Travis Inspiration">how Travis' music got a whole hospital singing</A>.</div> <bR> <div> To celebrate the official fifth anniversary (we first went online in the summer of 2003) of Travis Edmonson's website on Valentine's Day, we published a very special addition to travisedmonson.com  in February, folk singer <A

that is not to be missed!</div> <bR> <div> All around the country, in response to Travis' hospitalization, admirers report holding Travis Fests with snacks and music, to introduce their friends to his fabulous legacy.  A great way of sending healing vibes in Travis' direction.</div> <bR> <div> Also in January, a new Travis shop opened at <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.arizonafolk.net/travis.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.arizonafolk.net/travis.htm"><U>www.arizonafolk.net/travis.htm</U></A></FONT> where you'll find wonderful goodies like a
