I am so sorry for the loss of Spencer. He was a beautiful soul.
Dear Family of Spencer,
I had such admiration of Spencer. He was truly blessed with his family and his talents, and I have a favorite memory to share. A few years ago Spencer and his parents came to visit us in Washington and share a special dinner. Since I had heard of his talents as a chef, I invited him to come into the kitchen to cook with me a wonderful meal. We had such a fun time laughing and cooking in the kitchen and then around the dinner table. His father Mike said grace twice because he didn't think saying it once was sufficient for such a good dining experience. I was so looking forward to cooking with you in the kitchen again the week you left us. Your mom had just visited, and I wanted to meet your beautiful girlfriend. You had so much to live for. You look so much like your Uncle Ralph. You may be gone from us now, but you will not be forgotten. I am grateful that you rededicated your life to Jesus recently. Keeping you and your dear family in my prayers.
God bless you and keep you. Norma O'Malley
