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.

The sadness and agony of this loss has changed us forever. Patrick and Anna are truly some of the finest people we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Gracious, loving, caring people who raised their boys to be just as amazing.

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.

Our hearts go out to your family and we will pray for Spencer. We enjoyed our time with Spencer and your family at the Bea Achievers Club in Hawaii. We went on the rain forest adventure together. Spencer was so funny and made the bus ride a true enjoyable experience. In the short time we spent together Spencer was a joy to be around. We are deeply sorry for your loss and may Gods blessings be with you.

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.

Hearing about your beautiful son brings up the memories of my 2 month old nephew, who went to be with The Lord so early in his life. My sister reminded us all. When we go to be with The Lord, we will not be able to get close to Jesus, because of all the children.

Please know that Spencer is with The Lord and that many who don't even know you, grieve with you.

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.

Our hearts truly do go out to you and your family as you undergo one of life's hardest lessons. We may never know why God chose Spencer at this moment, but we do know that he is with his Heavenly Father who will take great care of him until you meet again.

What great pictures and memories of Spencer. Even though we did not know him very well, he was always kind and had a sweet smile on his face as he passed by our house on Mason. Obviously he had a great charisma about him that touched everyone whom he came in contact with.

Please know that we will be praying for each of you and will be sharing this with our Sunday School class. We miss seeing you on the block, but looks as if you are being taken care of in your new neighborhood and for that we are grateful.

Love to all of you,

In your own time, and way, may God help you find a place of healing in your heart. I opened Spencer's site and his smile brought me back to a time when we shared many a laugh. There is no doubting where that smile came from. Please know that Spencer and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I lost my 2 year old niece unexpectedly almost 12 years ago so I can empathize with the pain you are feeling.

Dearest Squire Family,

I am so terribly saddened to hear of the tragic loss of your beautiful son Spencer, I have spent the last 30 minutes looking at all his pictures and smiling thru my tears at your sweet boy. My 17-month old son is currently in remission (3 months now) from cancer. He was saved thanks to a wonderful family that chose to donate their daughters organs and he had a successful liver transplant. When I heard about Spencer and the truly compassionate and selfless gift you gave to others in light of his passing, my heart swelled. I am so moved that even in the midst of your intense grief, you
thought of saving others lives. Please know how deeply thankful donor recipients truly are, it is moving to know your beautiful son will continue to live on thru others and always loved as he will never be forgotten!

Holding you up in prayers and blessings,
The Heather Family.

Cindy and I are so sad to hear about the loss of your son Spencer. We live in the same neighborhood and I met Spencer only a few times but I learned a lot about him through Zach Hargrove and his father Shawn Hargrove. I have gotten to know Pat through my good friend Shawn over the past year and I hear Spencer was a lot like his father. What a great compliment! As parents, we can only imagine the depth of your sadness. As Christians, we know your precious angel is home.

Wow...the lives he touched in his short time here with us. Please know our prayers and love are with you all as you go through these next few weeks and upcoming months. His love and precious memories will be with you eternally, and he will be remembered with a smile by so many people.
Love, Carol, Leah & Family
"Occasionally, we are graced with the presence of an earthbound angel.
They are unable to stay with us for long, but when they do, they bring unprecendented joy and happiness to all they touch.
While they are here, we bask in their goodness and marvel at their contribution to the world.
When they leave, we are left with the devastation that comes with losing such a wonderful being...but we must remember...the earth bound angels are not ours to keep.
They are ours to enjoy, learn from, and behold until they return home."

Pat, Anna & Ryan, Shawn shared with us by telephone the findings with Spencer. Whatever, he is with the Lord Jesus in Heaven and probably playing sports. We are praying for the three and your extended family as you face this week-end and the weeks to come. We do not always understand why but we can be certain that the Lord always knows best in all things. We are praying that you will find the strength you need in the Lord and He will carry you through. May the Lord continue to bless the three of you and may you feel his love surrounding you in all things. Zack's grandparents

Dear Patrick,

My heart breaks for you and your family as I learn of the tragic loss of your son Spencer. For you and your wife Anna, a parent’s worst fear of losing a child has become a reality, and all we can offer you are words of sympathy and condolence, an outpouring of affection, and prayers that somehow you find strength in your faith and in God.

When I first opened Spencer's web page, I was unable to control my emotions as I had my very first look at Spencer. He is your spitting image. His picture reminds me of the first time I met you some forty years ago in your kitchen. You were three years old. You had a baseball in hand, and you looked at me and said, "Hi! Do you want to play catch", and then you pegged one at me (with unbelievable speed and accuracy for a three year old). I guess there is no mistaking Spencer's origin and his passion for sports.

As I read through the many messages from family, friends, and other people in Spencer's life, it is obvious he was a very special person that touched everyone he met. I would have liked to meet Spencer.

Please accept my most sincere condolences and know that you, Anna, and Ryan, are in my thoughts and prayers; and that Spencer has touched me, although we have never met.

Sincerely,
Ron Ferrazzani
