Anna and family, I am Kristen Eliason Harris and was a Tri Delt with you many years ago at A&M (I am several years older than you). An email about Spencer was circulated to our class of deltas. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. This especially hit home for me because I have two boys ages 3 and 5. Spencer is in a wonderful place and from what I have read, he is surely the captain of the sports team in Heaven. Gods peace to your family.

There are few moments that age and youth can really share together in complete harmony. I had the joy of sharing such a moment with you Spencer when we stood arm in arm singing the "War Hymn" at Coaches Night just a few short days ago. Sixty-five years did not matter - It's Great To Be An Aggie. That moment will live every time the "War Hymn" is played. Thank you Spencer for sharing that moment with me.

I don't know Spencer, but I was taken aback by such a young childs obituary. Spencer seems have lived a fun and exciting life full of things that I in my 25 years have not done. I hold your family in my heart as well as my prayers. Remember all things happen through Christ Jesus. Rest in Peace young Spencer.

Anna, Patrick, and Ryan,
The loss of Spenser has got to be the greatest sorrow. His photos show a very happy, very loved little boy...full of life and eager to take on the world.
It's uncomprehendable to me how something like this can happen to such a sweet family.
May you find comfort today, courage for tomorrow and hope in your heart always. I'm sure he's watching over you right now with a soccer ball in one hand and a baseball bat in the other wearing his favorite Aggie t-shirt.
Much love and peace be with you,

I did not know Spencer personally; however, through his Aunt Margo I came to know a young boy that was full of life and was dearly loved by all. My sister died when I was six years old and my mother always said that was the worse thing that ever happened to her...that was is 1957...and to her that is still such a pain in her heart. But, somehow the world goes on. (My younger brother is a minister and at a recent family funeral that was the theme...that the world does go on.) We may not want it to..but the world does go on. Someone gave my mother a book by Dale Evans entitled Anger Unaware about her daughter who died young. My mother always said the book helped her so much to face the world again. I hope I can find that book for Anna and for Aunt Margo. I wish I had the gift for words...Margo is the eloquent one in our group...at a time like this. I can only say how my heart breaks for the family and my prayers to God will be to hold this family in His love and to give them the strength to face the world...as the world moves on.

We are truly heart-broken about little Spencer even though we never had the honor to have met him. My grand-daughter, Megan Elise and I were at the park near Kerr Elememtary School when we saw flashing lights.
As we were approaching we saw the Care Flight Helecopter preparing to land. My grand-daughter is only 4 yrs. old and wanted to know what was happening. I said someone is very sick and is being taken to the hospital in the helecopter and it could be a child. I told her we needed to pray immediately. We are Catholic and she and I said prayers to Jesus and Mary and asked them to please be with this sick person and to let him feel their loving presence.
We said many prayers as the Helecopter flew directly over our heads, and we noticed a Hugh Red Heart painted underneath the Helecopter. I pointed the Red Heart out to Megan and told her that they have great Love for the sick person and take very good Care of the sick as they take them to the hospital. It was surprising to see a 4 yr. old show such concern and compassion.
Megan and I said our prayers for him walking home.
After reading the obituary today for Spencer, I felt compelled to write in his guest book. I looked at all the photos of him and was overwhelmed to see this beautiful little boy whom we had never met but had prayed so earnestly and deeply for. I also showed his picture to Megan and said this is the little person we prayed for that was in the helecopter.
Although Spencer was only 6,he lived such a full, rewarding, honorable life with so many achievements, awards and recognition and so many exciting adventures that the majority of people never experience in a very long lifetime.
I know that Jesus welcomed this prescious little boy home with open arms and holds him so very close to his side and most Sacred Heart. Spencer is an angel and we will see him in him again in heaven!
With all Sincerety of Heart and Compassion and Praying for all Spencer's family to feel Grace and Peace in God's Blessings, I want you to know your are in my thoughts and prayers.
With much Love for a little boy we never met,
Jeanette and Megan Elise

Dearest Squire family,

I do not know where to begin to express our condolences to your family. We are so sorry about the loss of Spencer. Although we'd only met him briefly, we know how loved he was and that he couldn't ask for better, more dedicated parents and a fabulous extended family and network of friends to support and guide him.

I've asked my local friends and my family to keep your family and Spencer in their prayers. Anna, I couldn't help but describe you to my friends by saying you are the epitome of a true Southern Lady with a beautiful strength, tact, a gentle, hospitable heart and always a concern for others. I am sure you are handling this most difficult week no differently... I have also asked God to continue to bless you with the strength, special joy in life and grace that only you have.

May God Bless you all and may your little Angel Aggie watch over you from heaven until you meet again.

Words cannot explain the pain and sadness that has overcome me with the loss of your son Spencer. To you this feeling of heartache must be overwhelming.

Spencer may have lived a short life, but it was still a life worth living. He had two parents that loved him, and although we have not yet met, surely a terrific little brother.

I want you all to know that through this hardened time I will always be there for you, and keep you in my prayers daily. Spencer is truly in a better place, and we will all remember him dearly until we meet again in Heaven.

Dear Uncle Pat and Aunt Anna,

I am truly sorry about the loss you have suffered. I wish i could have met Spencer...I bet he was the best of kids, full of joy, life, and athleticism. I will be attending the funeral with my brother Kevin and my Dad Eric. I dont know what id do if i lost Kevin, i would probably be in a state of depression. When I get to Dallas, I would appreciate learning about Spencer and what a great kid he was. I feel that if im part of the family its my responsiblility to know about my family and care for them and love them for who they are. Even though i never met Spencer i just know he was a one of a kind kid.

Love and with sincere apologies,

Dear Squire Family,

Words can't express the sorrow that we feel for your loss. I remember when little Spencer was brought into this world when Pat and I worked together and I'll never forget when I was told about the unfortunate turn of events that took place last Saturday and my heart broke for Pat and Anna as we too have a son who is about a year older than Spencer. You all have been and will continue to be in our prayers. Don't you know that when Spencer went to be with God he first asked him if he was an Aggie.

Squire Family,
Wow. I don't even know where to begin. The loss of Spencer after 6 short years makes you realize how short and precious life is. I had the pleasure of meeting Spencer through my mother's preschool class. She was his preschool teacher for 2 years. She has said over and over again how his agility and energy were far beyond his years. I cannot begin to imagine how you are feeling now, but I assure you, he is in a better, more peaceful place. As I read through messages, I am amazed at the number of people who didn't even know him, but are still heartbroken. I was looking on the website earilier and there were already over 4,000 hits. Just a few hours later it is now over 6,000! He has very obviously touched the lives of very many people.
My prayers are with your family. God bless you and your little angel, Spencer.

From Aggieland to Draft Day to Haverwood Drive to Plano, we have had great times. Your pain and sadness during this time has been unbearable, but your spirit and your love of life and friends will carry you through. Spencer would want you both to laugh, play and be strong for Ryan.

Our love for you and your family will never end, nor will our memory of Spencer and his magical smile.

Dear Squire Family,
You are all in our thoughts and our prayers. I didn't know Spencer but Ryan was in Camerons class last year and when I heard this news about Spencer I was shocked and saddened all at the same time.

I can't even fathom the pain you are suffering but know that Spencer is in Gods hands now as well as God is taking care of you here on this earth. Knowing that Spencer has donated his organs is a blessing for others too and you will know that a little bit of Spencer will be around for many years to come.

I will be praying for you and your family each day and praying that with time all saddness and wounds will heal.I know this is a hard understanding for Ryan as well. Special prayers will be said for him too.

I hope that I do get to see you in the CRUMC hall this next year and lend you a hug and know that we are praying for you.

Remember that your family loves you and will stick by you and all your friends will be there to support you and love you as well as care for you too!

Please take care as we pray for Spencer. I am sure he is up with God showing him how to play soccer and enjoying life just as he did on this earth.

Dear Anna, Patrick, Pat, Patsy and Margo,

Somehow it never feels right when your child dies ahead of you. It's not supposed to happen in that sequence. The loss of Spencer, only 6 years old, makes no sense at all. But I do know that our God is sufficient to meet all our needs. It is all right to lean on others when the grieving path is too steep to climb. Reach out and take the hands and hearts of others and feel the presence of God through them. We will be praying that the "moments of memories" will strenghten you as you all try to deal with his death. One day, when you are going through heaven's gates, don't be surprised to see Spencer's face light up and to hear him call out your name. What a reunion that will be! We will keep on loving and praying for you all.
