Spencer Mattson ~ Our Angel 
Spencer Robert Mattson
July 12, 1999 - July 7, 2005
Spencer was diagnosed with a brain tumor called Choroid Plexus Carcinoma on 9/16/01. After enduring many months of treatments including surgeries, chemotherapy, stem cell transplant, gamma knife radiation, and whole brain/spine radiation he climbed on his rainbow and received his wings and is now free forever, smiling once again upon us all.
"Please pray and watch over my family as I watch over them from above. Each twinkling star is a hole in heaven's floor."
Forever 5 in our hearts. Just like you said, "Luv you all the way to heaven" and we do... we miss you bunches but know you are running and playing. Have a great day sweetie!
LOVE MOM & DAD
Tonight when you look up don't think of them as stars. Think of them as porch lights welcoming our loved one safely home.

Monday, July 21, 2008 12:30 AM CDT The sun is shinning, it has it the mid to upper 90's and the pool water is finally getting nice!
We made it past Spencer's angel anniversary and birthday this past couple of weeks. Thanks to all our friends and family who helped remember with us. Rob and I did make a trip to the Olive Garden (noodle house) for supper one evening... that was Spencer's favorite place to eat. Time does move on, but some days are still really hard... and the hard days rear their ugly heads evem more often this time of year, but we just trudge forward and as I've always said, "this too shall pass"... Spencer didn't have bad days, just not so good days... so that is what we sometimes have... not so good days!
The weather finally gave us a break so that Rob has been able to get a lot of hay put up... still had about 2 inches of rain on Friday that we weren't expecting so we got some hay wet, but can't really complain about rain in July in Missouri. The corn has just tassled, so the rain is good for it and with this heat hitting us now, we really needed it. They are calling for a chance of rain tonight, tomorrow night and Wed so Rob is putting hay up like crazy today.
Three weeks from today I return to work... don't even want to think about that... summer goes SOOOOOOO fast. Until then though, I'll be enjoying the pool as much as I can. We don't have any thing else planned, other than the State Fair in August.
I had some landscaping done in my back yard this summer so I have been busy planting perinnial flowers in it... I think it will be really pretty next summer. I've planted a lot of flowers that the butterflies like so that I can lay in my pool and watch the butterflies... so peaceful. My mom got me a butterfly bush last year for my birthday and it has just done wonderful... loaded with flowers and the butterflies love it... so buddy, keep sending us butterflies! We miss you each and every day but you keep sending us little signs... we love them... like the clouds that look like you riding a bike and another cloud that looked like you laying down... and the butterflies and rainbows... they help us get through each day and keep your memory alive!
Until Later...
