Dear Spence, i loved u like a brother. We grew up together in a world that welcomed us with open arms to be ourselves. In a small town only a few miles from each other.. You were just like family..just like your passing has taken a piece of my heart.

Words cannot express how much I miss you and our conversations. Every time the weather is about to change from warm to cold from a cold front, you would let me know it was coming and how cold ya'll already were. (Don't worry baby it's coming, because I always complained of it being hot) It's about time now to put up our hummingbird feeders, (you always got me hummers than me, lol)!! I miss being able to ask you questions about our family. When I went to your funeral Aunt Gloria gave me a bag of pictures of our family. There's one of granny's mom and dad. I've never seen that picture or if I did, I don't remember. I caught myself wanting to call you and ask you all kind of questions, that I know you would have loved to answer. I MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH! It's 19 degrees in Winnie today and your low is going to be 14 degrees!! I know you already know this, but I just wanted to tell you. I got to meet Mr. Donald at your funeral (I'm sure I met him when I was younger, maybe I just don't remember) He loved you sooo much. I really enjoyed talking to him. I've asked Chrystal to get me his address, I''d like to mail him a card. Anyway, I was just missing you extra today and wanted to talk to you. Thank you for always making me feel loved and wanted. I love you so much and miss you too. I know heaven is really enjoying you!!! Kiss and hug my precious granny. Love, your favorite, l0l, Lisa
TODAY I’M GETTING A GRANDSON!!! I WISH YOU WERE HERE FOR ME TO SEND YOU A PICTURE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO NAME HIM YET, THEY CAN’T AGREE, LOL. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH. PLEASE KEEP THEM ALL IN YOUR PRAYERS TODAY. LOVE YOU 🙂
TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY!! I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME. I SURE DO MISS YOU. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE FREE OF PAIN AND THAT YOU ARE HAPPY. LITTLE BRIAR IS DOING GREAT, THE DR’S ARE VERY PLEASED WITH HOW WELL HE HAS HEALED. HE IS A PRECIOUS LITTLE BOY AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. HALLIE STARTED 3RD GRADE THIS YEAR!!! SHE IS SO SMART AND THE SWEETEST GIRL. SHE HAS HER NANA’S HEART. JARED AND EMILY ARE DOING GOOD, STILL VERY PROUD OF THEM BOTH. YOU WOULD BE PROUD OF THEM. JASON AND I ARE DOING WONDERFUL, ABOUT TO CELEBRATE OUR 0NE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. WE GOT MARRIED AS CLOSE TO YOUR BIRTHDAY THAT WE COULD. THE 16TH WAS A MONDAY LAST YEAR AND EMILY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT, SO WHEN DID IT THE FIRST SATURDAY AFTER, THE 21ST. I WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH.
Today makes a year that you have been gone. I miss our phone calls about the weather and about what we are going to eat for dinner, lol. I miss you telling me how proud you are of me and my kids and how good of a job I did raising them. I regret everyday that you didn’t get to meet Jason in person, You’ll never know how much it meant to him when I had you on speaker phone and he heard you say “I’ve never met him in person but I sure do love him for the way he loves you and your babies” it brought tears to his eyes. He said he’ll never ever forget that about you. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and Thanksgiving with all your family in Heaven and I’ll know this will be a wonderful Christmas for you. I love you and miss you with all my heart. I love you Uncle Spence, thank you for always loving me and being there for me. Love, Lisa
