Pat, It was an honor to have met Spence. He was one of the greatest Aggies I have ever met. If there is ever a way to overcome something like this, I pray you find the answer. What a neat little guy he was. He, no doubt, will entertain The Man upstairs. I won't ever forget him. Love you guys and are praying for your comfort in this difficult time.

Anna, it was only 3 weeks ago that I met you for the first time and you were showing me pictures of Spencer in your wallet. I still remember driving back from Austin in the rain & hearing Spencer tell you to be careful driving in the big storm. Although our sons were in the same grade at Boon, my son did not have the privilege of meeting & playing with Spencer. I was so hoping that the boys would finally get to know each other in first grade because I could tell that Spencer was such a vibrant little soul from the way you described him. There is no doubt about how much he was loved by everyone.
My heart goes out to you and your family. We prayed and prayed for a miracle from God, but maybe God's plan was for Spencer to GIVE miracles to other children in need. My only consolation to this tragedy is that Spencer is in a better place and one day, you will see him again.
Now we are praying for God to give you and your family strength to get through this difficult time. Please lean on your friends and family. We can only imagine the extent of your pain and suffering, but know that we are here to help in any way.

May the Lord wrap His comforting arms around all of you. What a beautiful little boy. I've heard it said that these times make us stronger. Having gone through a similar situation with one of my daughters I know the only comfort is found in Him. When Melanie told me about this tragedy, she told me you were from Lockhart. My father, Auburn Neely, was the pastor at FUMC Lockhart 1956-1960. What a wonderful, loving community. Friends and family will see you through. Lean on them and lay your sorrows at God's feet. You are in my prayers.

Anna, Patrick, and Ryan,
I can not express the sorrow that I felt today when I received the news about your precious son. I can not even comprehend how you must feel. I just wept as I looked over the beautiful pictures that people have sent and the heartfelt compassion that so many people expressed was almost too much to take in. I've never seen such a web site done for someone like this but I think it is such a wonderful idea. You should be so pleased by how many people's lives that this one six year old boy touched.
You guys must be so overwhelmed right now but you truly must have thousands of people praying for you around the country and that is the only thing that I know to do at a time such as this.
I called my mother after I heard about Spencer and asked her what to say to someone whose lost the most precious thing in their life and she told me that it says in the Bible to bring these things before the throne of grace......."Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."-Hebrews 4:16
That is what we will do, continue to bring your family before the throne through our prayers.

Dear Patrick, Anna and Ryan, We are deeply saddened
over the loss of darling Spencer. He brought joy to all
who knew him and will be sorely missed but remembered
by so many as he saved other lives. Words are of little
meaning at this difficult time, but we pray that it is of some comfort to you to know that others care and are
thinking of you and your dear family.

I was one of Spencers summer camp teachers. I can still see him leading the class in the construction of a castle made out of cardboard blocks. He was able to round up his classmates and include everyone in one of his exciting games. His smile brought smiles to my face, and was a spark of positive energy in the classroom. I will always cherish my memories of Spencer. I am deeply sorry for your loss, and want you to know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
With love,

I transferred to A&M from Baylor my sophmore year and went potluck with a roommate. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would get a friend for life with Anna. When we talked about the future, Anna wanted a little girl to dress up in all the "bling" she liked back in the '80s. I kinda worried how things would go when that little girl turned out to be a beautiful, blue-eyed baby boy. Well, I shouldn't have been concerned at all. Spencer was so loved from the minute Anna and Patrick learned of his existence. Spencer didn't wear the "bling" but he was dressed head to toe in Aggiewear and was every inch the sharp dressed man. That was his mom's influence. After I had a baby boy myself, Anna gave me helpful hints on raising boys. It helped because Anna was very down-to-earth as a mother. She helped me not to be so overprotective over things. She said you have to give kids the room to explore so they can learn. The advice was taken, and it worked.
I think the two things I remember most about Spencer are when he was very young. Anna said they passed by a Sonic, and he yelled, "Tater tots!" I don't think he was two years old. Again, his mother's boy. The second memory that stands out in my mind is when I officially met Spencer at almost 3 years of age. He was pretending to be James Bond. I thought he had a wonderful imagination and was so full of life.
My heart has simply been crushed by the events of this past week. I can't talk about it without crying. I have asked for prayer for the Squire family as I shared the story with my friends and church in Houston. Everyone is sadly affected. My only point of comfort is that I know where Spencer is...up in Heaven, happy and healthy.

As Spencer finds his new home in heaven may God give you the strength it will take to get through each day. When we think of Spencer we will remember his beautiful, bright eyes and wonderful smile. Remember he is smiling down on you, your own little angel.

I am a friend of Judy Gullikson and I have been struggling for the words to convey my heartfelt sympathy and empathy for your tragic loss. Our family had a similar loss less than two years ago. All I can tell you is that God can and will help you through this. When you need His peace and comfort ask for it even if it's at one minute intervals...He will answer. Dwell on the wonderful memories that you have of this special little man and he will live in your hearts until you are together again. God Bless you all.

I have struggled to sit and write this ever since Coach Handle came in and told me about what had happened to Spencer on Monday morning. Last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Spencer was in our football camp here at Berkner HS playing with his buddies out on the field just like all the other kids. Then to hear what had happened Sat just ripped my heart out. We don't know why God has chosen to take little Spencer from us, but I do know this. If there is football in heaven Spencer is playing it and having a great time. He enjoyed so much playing that game with his little buddies and they loved him. As I sit here with tears running down my cheeks I am proud to have known him even for such a short time. He has made an impact on me.
To Spencer's family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Thanks for letting me be a small part of his life.

Praying that God's love and grace will somehow comfort you during this most difficult time in your lives. We can't even begin to imagine the hurt you are feeling right now. I have held my girls and loved on them more these last few days, trying not to take for granted the little things in life. Now, you have your little Aggie Angel in heaven & you will be Blessed!!!
