Brittany and David's baby boy, Robert Forrest Spence, passed away last night (Nov. 4). Thank you all for the many prayers you've sent up for Forrest during these past 55 days since he was born. He fought through many tough health battles in his short life, but we can rejoice that he is singing God's praises in heaven now and his suffering is over forever. PLEASE continue to pray for Brittany and David!! Forrest touched so many people's lives so much, even though we never got to meet him...and his short life glorified God to the fullest!

Here is the message that Brittany and David posted late last night:
It is with a heavy heart that we write to say that Robert Forrest Spence stepped out of this life and into the next just before 10 pm this evening. He was at peace and felt no pain. In spite of the hardship, it has been a tremendous blessing to have been entrusted with him for the past 55 days. Thank you to all who have loved us and continue to do so. We find real encouragement and comfort in knowing that even though he could not even speak or muster a cry, he was able to shout into the lives of so many people and bring so much glory to his eternal father. If you shed a tear this evening, shed a tear for those who do not know a God that can bring such love, comfort, and peace into a situation that would otherwise have very little. And please continue to pray for Brittany and I as we cope with the loss of our first child.
We will update the site when further arrangements are made.
Much Love,
David and Brittany
