Home/BlogMost of you are probably not aware that my wife of 48 years, Doreen (“Reenie”) J. Spencer passed away two weeks ago today, on June 7. Reenie had suffered for many years from autoimmune and fatty liver disease, and her condition worsened in the last several months. By the time she agreed to go to the hospital, it was too late to do anything except keep her comfortable.
We married the year I changed my major from computer science to atmospheric science and moved from Michigan State University to the University of Michigan. Reenie was always my most loyal supporter and fiercest defender, exhibiting the ‘sisu’ of her Finnish heritage.
Her spirit is now relieved of her earthly sufferings.
Very sorry for your loss.
Sincere condolences to you and your family, sir. May there be strength and comfort to endure this loss.
Praying for you and your family.
Our family sends its sympathy to you and yours Roy.
Let the Lord comfort you in your pain of loss.
Please accept my deepest condolences during this time of profound loss.
Our deepest condolences. We greatly appreciate her valued support of all your efforts over the years!
Truly sorry that she’s gone.
