I don't know if I am related to Spencer and his family but I have a great respect for our service men and women. I am deeply sorry for your loss. May God bless and keep you all.
So...it's been 2 years and although alot of things have changed, one thing remains the same...I still miss you. I've had three dreams about you since the day you passed...one was shortly after you died and the second one was the night of November 20th, 2007....morning of the 21st...and I was so happy to see you in my dreams. I told Jody about it and then later that day we thought, "Wow, this is the day he was in the explosion!" My mom said that dreams are the way that people that have passed communicate with you, I said, "He must be saying, 'Don't forget about me!'"...you know I never will. My mom says I need to do a better job of taking care of the flowers at your memorial monument....and I had to remind her that I am not one with a green thumb! Then last night I had another dream with you in it....and it didn't hit me until 8pm tonight after I dropped my mom off at her house after the X-Mas Party...I pulled out of her driveway and thought...."wow...it's the 8th." I called my mom and told her about my 3rd dream of you and how it was 2 years ago today that you left us all. Jody is living with me now and says that you used to call her "trouble"....she misses you too and admitted tonight that she has always brushed me off everytime I have tried talking about you because she never knew and still doesn't know how to deal with losing a loved one. Oh, how so many people cared about you.....I'm sure you know now. We ALL miss and LOVE you more then we probably ever told you...I know that for myself is true. Love you very much and miss you more then you know........ Can't wait until the day that I see you again.
LOVE ALWAYS.....
Me and Jb
Sorry to hear of his loss -- he was a good kid from a good family. / Troy Martz (Childhood friend ) Spencer and I were friends as kids; my folks (Thelma and Gary) are old friends of Don and Carole. He and I used to play together for hours -- Leggo's, army, etc -- my memories of him are all as a kid since I moved away in 1982.
I just head of Spence's death -- I haven't heard from them in years and haven't been back home to Cadillac in a couple of decades.
God bless the Akers family -- you all are in my prayers.
God bless Spencer -- you have touched more lives than you could ever guess.
-- Troy

Missing you Spence / Kimberly
REMEMBERING YOU ON THIS VETERANS DAY AND THE UPCOMING 2 YEAR MARK OF THE DAY THAT CHANGED ALL OF OUR LIVES.....WE MISS YOU AND THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME.
KIMBERLY AND JB
Thank you to a true hero / Tracee McQuiston (brief friend ) I first met Spencer on-line and unfortunately I never got to meet him in person. My friend from work knew him and she went with me to the funeral. And as this world seems so small, I recently married a wonderful man who served with Spencer. He was there on that day. He was the gunner in the third humvee. Being that I am also in the Guard and know how hard it can be, I have never asked Larry about that day. I know that it will always be a part of his life and a memory permenently burned into his heart.
I am truely humbled and honored to have known Spencer, even if it was for a short time.
Thank you for doing what you had to do and please look after Sgt Larry when he goes back.
Missing you / LeAnne H. (friend) I miss you more and more each day! It's times like these when I miss your awesome advice and your eternal smile!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you Spence.

Its been awhile / Vicki G. (Ricks Mom ) I know its been awhile ince I stopped in. But I wanted to say, like Kimberly and Patti, Thank you for watching over the boys. I know that you were on Ricks shoulder more than once helping him to be safe. You will have some more of your buddies heading off to danger too soon...watch over them too ok!
Thank you.. / Kimberly God bless you in Heaven for keeping Rick and Wilson safe and watching over them....some things never change : )
Thinking of you and remembering you ALWAYS!
Memorial/ Jamison Yager (Fellow Soldier ) Hey man, I've had a bracelet for a while, the KIA kind. I lost it once, for about a day, but Sherri found it. I was nearly hysterical, so, I figured I ought to make the damned thing permanent. I got a tat, it's not much, just black text, but I thought that way I'd always have it with me. Sherri misses you too, we still talk about you sometimes. When Lexi gets older, I plan to tell her about you, the tough old team leader that sculpted her dad into a half way decent infantryman. When I make it to the other side, we'll catch up, for now, you'll just have to read my posts on here. See you when I see you.
Dear.Spencer.My MOM and me are coming to visit you. I'm going to make you a giant card of you wining the war. I will also bring a little UnitedStates of Amarica flag with a nother card with a flag and GODBLEAMERICA.
Well, Jb and I getting ready to come see you....he already has so many things he is planning on leaving at your grave this year. Thank you for your selfless sacrifice, we will never forget you!
God bless you angel / Rosemary Sis Of Alvin Cremeans
Rest in peace angel. We won't forget. God bless you and your family. Rosemary sis of Alvin Cremeans xoxo
May 7, 2007 ~ Just thinking of you..... / Kimberly Hey you...I was just listening to the 2 Daryl Worley songs that always make me think of you...."Have You Forgotten" and "I Miss My Friend". I went up to the memorial monument yesterday at the VFW...sat there for a minute, held onto your dog tags hanging from the field cross...ran my fingers acrossed your name etched in granite...it was a nice warm sunny day yesterday...giving me another reason to think of you, as the song goes, "sunny days seem to hurt the most....." (Who You Be Today). You were on my mind today when I was driving to the bank....I sat at the light on the corner of South Airport and Garfield..waiting to turn left, I looked up at the blue skies with the nice puffy white clouds and wondered two things...what you were doing right then up in Heaven....and what you would of been doing if you were still here on Earth, possible playing paintball, napping, working at Best Buy....again, I remember everything happens for a reason and one day I'll understand why God took you that day...really on November 21st, even though you weren't with Him until December 8th. I'll never forget the moment that I found out that you had passed away. I remember it like it was yesterday, I was driving up LaFranier on my way to get Jb from school and Stacey Gonzalez called and told me that you had passed away the previous night...I just remember saying, No...it's not true. I got off the phone with her and started crying like I hadn't cried in a LONG time. I got to Jb's school and sat in the parking lot for a minute wondering how I could maintain my composure long enough to get him without people asking me if I was ok...when I realized that the tears weren't going to stop for nothing, I walked into the school with my head down and got Jb....he asked, "Mom, why are you crying?" I told him that I found out that you had left the day before to go live with God. Needless to say, that day was the first hard day among many. It was December 9th....our family Christmas Party was December 10th and I told my mom that I wouldn't be there...she wanted me to come but I knew I couldn't stop crying and didn't want to talk about it let alone ruin everyone else's day. I remember pulling into the driveway to drop Jb off and telling him to, "...tell Grandma that momma was to sad to stay." He said, "Ok momma, I love you." My mom called me later that night and I asked her if she would keep Jb over night because I just wanted time to myself...she said yeah. I ended up going crazy in the house by myself that I ended up going to Streeter's where I knew people who could relate to my pain would be. Sure enough...Mayer, Sam, Wilson....etc...were there and they had a memorial tribute to you in Ground Zero that night. It was exactly what I needed. It has only gotten easier since that day but from time to time I have these little break downs because you are heavy on my mind at these times. I will never forget you....I wish you were here to tell you how much I cared. I love you Spencer Akers......me.

The Fallen Written by Andrea Senter
They never thought when they left here their families they'd see no more No one dares to think about The high price of such a war.
If you asked them why they did it They'd say because it was right Someone has to stand up And someone has to fight
A world away they defend our cause, as we tuck our kids in bed. Some give all for all of us, And somewhere tears will be shed.
They do not ask for fame or fortune Just that we recognize We are here, free, today, Because the fallen have paid the price.
I am so sorry for you loss. I lost my brother Marine Cpl. Rusty Washam February 14, 2006 in Iraq by a suicide bomber he was only 21. People keep saying it will get easier as time goes by its been alittle over a year since we lost Rusty and it still feels like yesterday. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God Bless you and help heal your Broken Hearts from this huge loss. My brother has a site to it is rusty-washam.memory-of.com
Watching over the boys / Vicki (Friend) I am sure its you. And I wanted you to know that I thank you. Course I am sure you are hearing alot of us praying to you. You are the angel on Ricks shoulder. And now Wilson needs you on his as well. Those two are gonna keep you busy! Just keep up the good work and keep them safe.
Birthday/ Jeannine Robertson (brother)
Dear my brother, Today is your 37th birthday and we still miss you like crazy. We wish you could be here with us. We love you so much and you will always be in our hearts. Love Randy, Jeannine, Laci, Tyeler,Jordan, and Larah
March 6, 2007 / Kimberly
Let's see, is this 29 for the 9th year in a row? We still miss you like crazy...wish you were here. We will always remember you as a hero! Until we see you again.....
Hard Times / Matt Mayer (Roomate) In Spencers honor I ask that everyone who reads this message doesn't forget the sacrifices of the men and women serving in the military. I know the situation in grim in Iraq but don't let these guys and girls die in vain. Bring them home soon, safe but with the mission completed. Ask any soldier what the worst thing could be in a war and they won't tell you dying or being away from family, they would say losing. Keep the fight strong and I love you Spence.
