While it breaks my heart to type a blog such as this. I do this because talking about stuff like this helps me heal and learn. And I want others to know about these "Three Little Angels" On July 28th in Meredan KS sadly the lives of the beautiful sweet little girls and their mother were in a bad car wreck. Katelyn Danielle Spencer age 8 and her sister Alissa Ruthann Spencer age 5 tragically died at the scene of the crash. Their little sister Madelynn Nicole Spencer age 4 and mom Stephanie were air lifted to 2 seperate hospitals.
Madelynn (Maddy) ppl called her was taken to a childrens hosp in KS, her mom to another hosp in KS.
My cousin (2nd cousin you could say actually Chad, Stephs husband and the father of the "Three Little Angels" is the son of my cousin Howard Spencer) Chad was rushed from work to find is world as he knew it had changed in the blink of an eye. is world as he knew it had changed. Chad went to the hospitals. Now out of respect of my family I am not going to go into a lot, what I will say is circumstances led to Maddy earning her Angel wings the next day. I can say that she lives on in many as her dad through all his pain and heartache let Maddy be a donor.
Here is information to be a donor. To register to become a donor in honor of Madelyn Nicole Spencer please visit http://www.mwtn.org/ or call 888-744-4531
When I saw Chad and Stephanie, I simply hugged them, told them I had been where they are at. And that down the road should they ever want to talk, I am here for them, to listen answer questions help in whatever small way I can. I knew there were no words at that moment that could help them but to know someone had felt the pain they were and are feeling.(that of losing a child suddenly without warning) I reached out to them, they know I am here.
One more thing and that is these three little angels had a huge love for animals. They were involved in 4-H. The family ask that you donate to an humane society in your home town. Below are some other ways you can help this family.

Before I write the poem I leave you with this, live each moment as if it were your last. Never let a day go by that you don't let your loved ones and those important to you know you love them and that they matter each and every day.
Last I say, thank you to my online family and friends. There are no words to tell you how I appreciate you all! I now leave you with "Three Little Angels"
"Three Little Angels"
written by J.R. Conser
If theres a heaven above the clouds,
Then I know where those three little girls are now.
And if heavens as great as ledgends have told,
Then theres unicorns and castles..a little girls dream unfolds.
And if theres angels singing those hymns,
Then I know three little angels who will fit right in.
And if its true that angels walk with us along the way,
Then I know three little angels who'll check up on us everyday.
And if Gods as loving and forgiving as the Bible has said,
Then I know that someday He'll let us see their faces again.
POEM written by J.R. Conser July 2010
I know all this comes from the heart, I can feel your emotion pouring into your words here. Tonight we'll have some new participants in our worship, but they'll be right next to Jesus.
