Just to let you know, it's never been the same without you and it never will be. You were the family glue. Yesterday, 9 years ago our lives changed forever. We've had to adjust best we could without you. I'm sorry to say, I've had a terrible time with it. I'm not the same person that I was.
I love you and that'll be forever

Hi baby, it's Mom, I ran into one of your friends the other day when I was with Arielle and that boy, he gave me such a hug, I felt like it was from you. I miss you and love you and think of you every single day of my life. I wish I could see you so much. We spent our first Thanksgiving since you past together, me and your sister's and our family's. I love you and always have you in my heart and soul.

Hi Baby, it's momma. Missing you something fierce. I feel the sadness today extra, as always around this time. My heart still incomplete without you. The glue, you were the glue to our family life and I'm reminded every holiday or family gathering that we don't share with each other. We've never had a family gathering since you've been gone and I've had to adjust to seeing family separately. I know it's just the way life is now. I love you.

Spencer- I will always remember you as a small child. Thank you for bringing JOY to my family. I remember taking you to a WWF match with my Son. Your smile will always remain in my heart. I can´t imagine the pain your family has experienced since losing you. Keeping you in my heart and your family in my prayers always.

Hey baby, I miss you. It seems to be lately a lot of your friends are joining you. It is really so sad. I don't understand it and my heart is broken for all the other people going thru this. It's a trigger for me. Can you do me a favor, please go talk to George, he's stumbling. You're the only one he's ever listened to. I couldn't stand to lose him too.
I love you forever and always

Hi baby, it's mom. It feels like you've been gone forever. I miss you and love you, without you, we've all been changed. I've learned things about life that I never wanted to know. It's a ' fire, hot' situation, life lessons the hard way.
I love you and look for signs of you always. I'm not scared of death anymore, because I know I'll see u you again

I have very fond memories of Spencer, he was very good childhood friends with my son Scott Gutierrez. Usually when Scott and Spencer would drop in for dinner, Spencer would have a gallon of milk with him. I last saw Spencer at the fair (without the milk) I know he was a very caring and always gave me that big smile and a hug. It was very difficult to hear of Spencer's death since I had lost my son only two weeks earlier. I'm so sorry for your loss Barbara, there is no greater pain than the loss of a child. All my prayer to you and your family ..

I only met Spemcer once a year ago at my granddaughter Heather and Brians home BBQ. He knew all the words to songs on the speakers and sang along with that big smile he had. He charmed my heart. I cant say how badly i feel for his family and friends who love him. Ill always remember that big beautiful smile and heart. My prayers are for you at this time. Sincerely

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son, Barbara. I remember you from Anacapa. Although I did not know Spencer, it sounds as though he was just like you. A big heart and a beautiful smile. I have never forgotten your kindness throughout all these years. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I saw the gigantic Christmas tree and all the candles lit up last night at the end of Seaward. This is my favorite part of our beaches. What a tribute to your son! May angel wings surround you and comfort you always.
