We are sorry for your loss and feel your hurt. Vic spoke of his mother with such great fondness and always with a smile and loving twinkle in his eyes! Such a outward response can only come from one that loves another with all their heart and from one that felt that same heartfelt love from the other. We never had the pleasure to meet Ms. Spencer but from the wonderful stories told to us by her son, there is no doubt that she was a wonderful lady that will truly be missed by all who knew her. God’s blessing to the family and the comfort only He can give at this time knowing that she is smiling down upon us all.
