Heartbroken is an understatement. There are no words that can ease the pain you're feeling. I have nothing but positive memories of helping with Spencer's Make-A-Wish for a backyard makeover, and am so honored to have gotten to share those moments with your beautiful family. You have all been in my thoughts since our paths crossed, and you will remain forever in my heart. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
