To  The John Spack Family,

On behalf of all of us at Facilities Resource Group, please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your father, husband and friend.  I only met him once but recognized a very close relationship between father and son (Steve). 

John 3:16   "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him should not perish but have everlasting life".

Thank you to our God for allowing us his grace in times like this! 

You have our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

James Faber

Dear Steve & Family,

 

 I pray that the Lord above will help you and your family through the times ahead as you mourn the loss of your father.  Your fathers obituary described him as the kind of man very much like my own father who has nearly died but come back to us twice in the last 5 months after a car accident.  I really felt like we lost him once while I was down there.  I only endured the feelings you have now for just a few moments but it was very traumatic… my thoughts are with you.
