I still love you and always will. Every year that should have been added to your life is painful to see pass, but I use it to remember you and recommit myself to my promise to live my life in your honor and in a way that would make you happy and proud.

I cannot thank you enough for making me who I am, for giving me strength and wisdom I feel lucky to have. Graduating last week, I couldn't help but wish you were there. Thank you for showing me what a soulmate is. To Gwen's family, your daughter is and will always be missed.

Love Gwen SO much and adored her humor and kindness❤️. She left a huge mark on my heart. The world needs more fearless teenage girls who love one another, just like Gwen. I love you Gwen!

I've loved this poem/song forever and I've held on to it since this memorial was first established. I know it's old and some may say it's trite but, to me, it always seemed fitting.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond that glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft starlight at night

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep

You are forever in my memories. I miss you terribly . I hope you are at peace.

Love
Scott

Happy birthday Gwendo. Missing you every single day.

To the Spencer family-
I want you to know that Gwen is not forgotten in our hearts and memories. My girls and my family and myself remember her as a genuinely kind, funny, compassionate soul. We love her:-)! We love all of you and miss your family. I wish you strength of spirit and God's blessings upon you always from Fort Mill. Love you guys so much and my heart and thoughts are with you today!

Our hearts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Gwen,

Thank you for loud laughter. For culinary enthusiasm. Thank you for athleticism and adventure seeking. Thank you for militantly ordered undergarment drawers. Thank you for pouring yourself into your little brother. Thank you for playing music to fill this house, and the house on Lexington. Thank you for singing out loud. Thank you for sharing your genius wit. Thank you for loving me. Thank you,....

With love,
from your mother

This Memorial Website is for anyone who ever knew Gwen Spencer - Family, Friends, Acquaintances, etc - to share your Memories, Pictures, Stories, or Anything that you want to share about her.

Love, Uncle Chris.

My beautiful Niece, tragically taken from us far to early, Gwen invoked passion, energy and a unique outlook to life. Her compassion for others and quirky humor brought so much comfort and light to all that she touched. Like so many, I miss her so very much, God bless her and her family. Love Uncle Scott
