Alana and family, We only knew your mom through golf, yet we could always see what a great supporter she was for you kids. We spent a little time together at Admiral Baker and your mom was so positive and so present for Alana that it was a gentle reminder to me as a mom that we love our kids so much and wish for them the very best every day. May your mom grow healthier and more vibrant in your mind with each passing day. With love, Spenser's family - Mary Ellen, Anthony, Kayla, Spenser and Gabe (Del Mar, CA)
