Re: Spencer Passed Away Today by: stevie_e_1 (49/M/Pittsburgh) 12/17/02 10:29 am Msg: 25406 of 25690   Yes, yes, quite a shock to all of us I am sure. Katie and I had a chance to go down and visit with him earlier this month - she has visited him several times. He seemed awake and recovering, tho he could not speak. We had great fun putting words in his mouth and he laughed softly at our attempts to interpret his words. Spence was a good man, difficult to comprehend fully, as he was private about many things that troubled him. I do know that he loved Katie deeply, and that my dear friend needs your support even as Spence needs our prayers for a happier everafter.

Post for the Angel by: Marycontrary36 (39/F/Mesquite, TX) 12/17/02 02:56 pm Msg: 25424 of 25691   Sifting through this history of poems Thoughts, love The angel among us has gone. He told of his love His life And even told Of the fight to live He told us he was dying Skimming through It seems No one heard He will live on through these words As long As the board will Allow. =============== Re: Post for the Angel by: jazziette (F/Beautiful Arizona) 12/17/02 08:32 pm Msg: 25433 of 25691   Mary, This was a beautiful poem. Spencer would have loved it. Yes, he told us he was dying. Please don't think 'no one heard'. Trust me when I say we were all aware of it and Spencer knew it. He had many close friends here who loved him very much but most of what you missed was 'behind the scenes'. Circles of prayer and special websites were formed for Spencer. There was constant prayer going out in his behalf from his friends here who loved him very much. But you are right... "He will live on through his words as long as the board will allow" but also 'others', as you have seen and read today will work to keep his memory alive. He was never forsaken and will not be forgotten. Thank you for writing this poem here. Love, ~Jazziette ================ Re: Post for the Angel by: Marycontrary36 (39/F/Mesquite, TX) 12/18/02 11:05 am Msg: 25473 of 25691   Thanks Jazz. I feel for you guys. I've lost several friends the last few years to that ugly fiend cancer. It's especially hard when you think of how "young" we all really are to have so much death touch our lives. You think you'll hang around these people well into your 70's and 80's and then-poof, at the ripe old age of 39 or 40, they're gone. And having just re-entered the world of chat and message boards, I have to say, you're right. I'm not aware of all the "behind the scenes" actions and commentary. My feelings were based strictly on what I've read from the last few years here. My deepest sympathy to those who lost a true friend.

Sometimes it seems as if our words are our only weapon against the clock. From what I've read the last 2 days, your friend had a mighty arsenal and left a rich legacy, not only of beautiful words, but more importantly, people who loved and respected him. I myself could ask for little more....but time...as we all covet time. I'm so sorry for your loss. ============   Hi Shadow by: home_hugs_n_harmony (36/F/MD) 12/18/02 09:08 am Msg: 25470 of 25691   Thanks for the post ..............................

What wonderful tributes to Spencer ! by: jazziette (F/Beautiful Arizona) 12/18/02 05:25 pm Msg: 25478 of 25695   Reading these posts have brought tears to my eyes but the joy in having had the opportunity to read them again and so collectively has been wonderful and healing and in it's own way inspiring and joyous. I think that Spencer would have really liked this. Stevie especially......for so many, many poems of Spencer's and for helping us through the most difficult day and for preparing us for a journey on the 'starship' with Archangel, thank you so much. Tweety....of course you have done so much and continue on in your endeavors. No one could ask for a better friend. Sasha and Mystick and SM and all the others who posted Spencer's poems for us to read... "thank you so very, very much". Isn't it a blessing to have friends? Isn't it a blessing to have these wonderful memories? This is what life is all about. In the great big scheme of things.... "love is what really matters". Isn't that what Spencer used to say???? It seemed he always signed his letters that way. :) Thanks for all the posts of Spencer's beautiful poems. I have enjoyed reading them so much. I am going to post the first one of Spencer's poems that I ever read in my next post here. With Love, ~Jazz
