In Loving Memory of Spencer Richmond
Donation protected
Sharing the story of our dear friend Emily Kreindler who suddenly lost her son. As you can imagine Emily is beside herself and is struggling with just the idea of her son not being around, let alone the idea of tackling the financial burden she will face with funeral costs. Please consider donating toward those expenses.
Below is a note Emily wrote about her son:
"January 18, 2020. There are no words that can begin to describe the enormous heartbreak and emptiness I feel right now. All I know is my life is forever changed and I’m not sure how I will find the strength to take a step forward from here. The world I’ve known for the past 23 years has been shattered forever. My first born, my sweet, kind-hearted, loving, thoughtful child is no longer suffering.
I am sorry if you are learning about this for the first time this way, but I spent the entire day sobbing uncontrollably and am just mentally exhausted and can’t make anymore calls. Thank you for all of the phones calls and messages. I am sorry if I have not responded. It is an unimaginable feeling and I’m doing all I can to keep my head up so I can still be here for my daughter.
If you knew Spencer, then you knew how sweet and kind my boy was. You knew how much I loved him and how much him and Abby loved each other. He could walk into a room and light it up. His energy was amazing and he was so full of life and potential. He was funny and always made you laugh. We used to say that Jim Carey must have been like him as a kid. He loved animals so much! It broke his heart to see animals in the shelter. If you knew him, you knew that we would help you before he helped himself. He would take his last penny and give it to someone else because that’s just the kind of person he was. I remember a time where he was at my office and was supposed to be doing a task for me, but had not returned. After waiting and waiting I went looking for him only to find him sitting on the ground talking to a homeless man and trying to give him some guidance. That was the type of soul he had. I knew he should have been some kind of counselor
...
The world has lost a beautiful soul and I can only console myself by knowing that he is in a better place with my mom, his guardian angel. This will never make sense. This will never be easy. My life with never ever be the same. I can only pray that there will come a day that we will be together again and he will know how much I love and miss him. I love you Spencer Cole. Forever my baby boy"
