Spencer, 22, a young rapper got to meet 86-year-old Roz on Friday in West Palm Beach, Florida a year after the two began playing the online game Words With Friends.
‘We played 300+ games together and she actually ended up becoming a good friend of mine. Today I got to go to Florida and meet her in person,’ Spencer wrote in a tweet.
Roz, who lives in a retirement community in Florida met with Spencer last summer.

Spencer raps under the name ‘High-Class Filth,’ shared his record of matches with Roz, indicating he has won 210 out of their 324 games.
‘She was not crushing me boy don’t play with me,’ he noted.
Pictures of the online friends meeting for the first time quickly went viral.

‘We vacationed together here and in Perú. Then cancer took her a little over a year ago. So grateful for her presence, however short, in my life—and grateful you got to meet your WW Friend! God Bless!’ wrote Cuxirimay.
