Mrs. Spink was my teacher at WHHS and I still remember her kind manner as she was a wonderful teacher. Most of all, I remember how she loved her students--and we loved her, too. May she rest in eternal peace.

We are so sorry for your loss of this wonderful lady, who was one of our son's teachers at Oak Park. We recall her smile and her ability to find the good in others. We always enjoyed our visits with her.

Though we did not have the honor of knowing mother Spink, we knew of the character and quality of her children. Their lives bear testimony to the character and quality of a godly woman, one who loved the Lord, one who discipled her own children in the things of God, and looked for the best from them. We honor her memory, acknowledge your loss, and genuinely celebrate her home-going. Steve and Cathy Lawton, Greenville, South Carolina
