But nothing compared to the love she had for her brothers and her “babies”.

Dear Spence Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss, and would like to share a scripture that I find comforting when dealing with grief. The scripture is found at Acts 24:15, here the Bible speaks of a time when God will bring loved ones, who have passed, back to life on the earth. This is a promise that many look forward to being fulfilled, and they also find it comforting to know that they will be able to see their loved ones again. I hope this message finds you well, and brings the family comfort during this difficult time.
