Irene,Tricia, Cheryl, and Jay,
The funeral this morning was one of the most beautiful and uplifting services that we have ever had the privilege to attend. It was such a fitting tribute to a wonderful person.
Although we are sad to lose Spike, we take comfort in knowing that we are better people for being blessed by his presence (and his many 'Spike~isms which will continue to bring a chuckle for years to come)!
Bless all of you for having the courage to provide the love, care, and comfort that you did over these past difficult weeks.
Much love,
Denise and Bob
