Spencer was an amazing man, happy, helpful, cheerful, smart, loyal, loved his wife unconditionally, adored his son, loved his mother and brother. Loved his job and was admired and respected. Only after a devastating personal betrayal did he lose hope that life could once again be happy. We grieve this loss. This unnecessary loss of a fine man.

My Dearest Son Spencer,
I know you are well, whole again with Grandaddy, Dennis Grandpa and Grandma. I am happy for your heavenly bliss but miss you more than words could ever express. It’s not right for a child to pass before a parent and we are all missing you terribly and are heartbroken. I ache with sadness and wish I could count the days til I get to heaven too. It’s my prayer that you are resting, fishing, sailing and talking to Grandaddy.
Love,
Mom

Dearest Son Spencer,
I wrote you a note but it didn’t post and I wanted to tell you that I miss you more than words can express and I am happy to know you are whole and well again in heaven. I count the days until I get there and want you to take me when it’s time. I love you, miss you and grieve that you are not with me, Mason and Liz and everyone else who loves you so much. I am proud to be your Mom.
Love,
Mom
