Graduation Day: October 17, 2021

Marnie Measom Spencer finished her mortal lessons and passed peacefully to her next classes on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. 

Marnie was keenly aware that she might not be able to finish telling the rest of her story about living with cancer and receiving continuous treatment for over thirteen years after it returned in 2008. She wanted to continue to chronicle the effects of both disease and treatment on her body, as well as the refining impact it had on her spiritual development. She left behind a few completed essays, stories, and memories, and many written and spoken testimonies of her evolving trust in God's love, plan, and timing.

My hope is to add to this website periodically, to complete what she began, using her words whenever possible, as a tribute to her and to help fulfill her wish to touch as many people as she could, to build hope, courage, and faith so they too might learn valuable lessons from their life's "hard teachers."
