Patrick, Anna and Ryan,

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,
Brett, Kristy and Nathan Autrey

Dear Pat and family, I am searching for words to give your family some comfort and support at such a tragic time in your life. A loss like yours is so hard to understand. 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.

Squire Family - Words cannot express how truly sorry I am for the loss of your precious son, Spencer. I lost my 2 year old niece unexpectedly almost 12 years ago so I can empathize with the pain you are feeling. While we may not understand why our precious little ones are chosen to be with God at such a young age, we can take comfort knowing they are Angels in Heaven. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You!

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.

To the Squire 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.

Dear Patrick, Anna, Ryan, & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Although Leah and I did not have the opportunity to meet Spencer we know how very special he is. A handsome, bright, talented, young man. 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

Its hard to put into words what Spencer meant to Kim and myself. After what has been easily the most trying week of my life, I think back on the many precious memories that we were blessed with. The joy after I saw little baby Spence for the first time a few hours old, to watching him grow into a happy, polite, energetic, awesome young boy. Its hard to single out any particular story since there are so many, but I will share a few that come to mind.

The backyard battles will always be missed. We had dozens of red sox-rangers wiffle ball matchups in the confines of the 3408 Mason backyard in Plano. Imagine an old has-been (myself) pitching overhanded to Spencer actually trying to get him out with my best curve ball and heaters. Only to take line drives off the body and watching balls sail over the fence and onto the roof. It brings a smile to my face as I think about Spencer rounding the make believe bases with that huge smile on his face rubbing it in as David Ortiz (a.k.a- Spencer) goes deep for the tenth time that day. We had our share of football matchups as well, with Spencer playing all time quarterback for Pat and my heated exchanges in the backyard. He loved life as he quarterbacked our games without a care in the world.

Spencer was so excited about showing Kim and myself the new break dancing/ rap artist routine one weekend. With long shorts, no shirt, and goofy sun glasses he rapped and danced for what had to have been the majority of the day that day. I can picture it now.

We had some pretty good wrestling matches as well. He kept coming back for more. For some reason he never figured out that I outweighed him by 200 lbs. He never quit and was determined to beat me at least once. (I let him win a few times)

We will miss the most of all, just being with Spencer, talking with him, goofing off with him, listening to his explanations, answering his many questions, and seeing his curiosity, excitement, and overall complete love of life.

Every one of us can name Spencer stories that will forever be engrained in our minds and hearts. The joy that he brought to our lives will never be forgotten and his memory will bring many smiles and laughter for years and generations to come. Spencer was a blessing to us and will be etched in Kim and my mind forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pat and Anna, who were and will always be The Perfect Parents. He loved you both so much and I know that he is smiling down upon us now from Heaven, probably with a baseball bat and an aggie jersey waiting to be together again for a new game.

We will always love you and treasure your memory Spencer.

We wish there was something that we could say that would make this easier on you and your family. We all ask, "Why" in a time like this. "Why Us, Why now, Why Spencer?" There is no answer. I lost my Mom a few years ago and a dear friend told me that the only answer that seemed to make sense was that God just needed another angel. I can tell that Spencer was definitely an angel here on earth and will be a wonderful Aggie Angel in Heaven.

After visiting Spencer's website it is obvious that he had a wonderful family and lived a rich life surrounded by many people that loved and cared for him. He seemed to be a true joy and a gift to all that knew him. I am truly sorry for your loss.
