T-Bird

Therese Crisp Spangler. I love you. You were my partner in crime in high school. I have so many memories of our crazy adventures. We were always laughing and dancing. You knew my secrets. You cried with me on numerous occasions. You were with me when I blew out the speakers in my car rocking out to N'SYNC. You would do "drive-bys" with me. You loved me even when I did not deserve it.

You made fun of me for being a cheerleader, but were always willing to use my free access to games.


You ruled the school with me in ASB.


You spent pretty much everyday with me and these dorks which made a lot of the girls hate us.


You would play along with my crazy games. You painted that pink picture frame in my room. Remember, we painted you bedroom door this same color.


You were there to support me at graduation.


You spent my last night in Spokane with me before I headed off to college.



You let me share your wedding day with you. You let me play with your beautiful kids. You always loved me and were an amazing friend.

I can't believe that just last week we were posting on each others blogs and now you have moved on. I'm so glad we were able to meet up a few months ago and spend one last moment together. If I had known it would be the last time for a while, I would have hugged you longer. I would have told you how much I love you. I would have told you how proud I am of you. After all you have been through, you always had a positive attitude and were grateful for your blessings.

I feel blessed to have you in my life. I feel lucky to call you my friend. I know you are in good hands and that we will see each other again one day. Until that day comes, know your family is in my prayers.

I love you T-Bird.

Hey, it's Emily Kunkel Richards. One of my best friends called me today to tell me about Therese. I just did a search to try and find an obituary and came across your blog. Although I know she's in a good place, I just can't help but feel sad for her children and husband. I really appreciated your comments about her. I still remember meeting her in 7th grade at softball tryouts and instantly loving her personality.
