To the Spencer Family,
Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.
I cannot believe that you are gone Marvin. Everytime I think of you all I can do is smile, laugh and cherise all the fun, and crazy things we did and said. And the memories they will never go away. But I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. And I will see you again
We will truly miss you.
Love,
Lynn, Michael and D'Von
