R.C. Spires

Minnie, JoAnn, Rita & Randy,
I know that your hearts are hurting, but just remember that you have not "lost" your dear one - you know where he is, he is up there celebrating with our Lord, awaiting our arrival. You all are in my heart and prayers and I thank God each day for my best friend, JoAnn.

Dear Minnie & Family,

I read of R.C's death with great sadness, but what a life well lived. This world is a better place because of him. You are in my prayers, please do not hesitate to contact me if I can do anything for you.

Jan is a close and very dear friend, and I have often heard her talk warmly of her Aunt Minnie and Uncle R.C. I got to meet JoAnn and Rita when there were in Chicago for Wayne’s memorial service. You all have my deepest sympathy at this sad time.

Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
