I wanted to tell you that your dad has joined you, in Heaven, on 1/27/2017. I hope you have reunited with him. I wish, so bad, that we had you both here, with us. But since that can't be, show him the ropes and guide him on his journey. I'm glad you are together, again. It broke his heart when he lost you. We love you, both. ❤❤❤

In Memory of Lucas ~ (Debra Estep)
October 18, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Lucas, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

TRIBUTE TO OUR FALLEN SOLDIER
United we stand in honor of freedom's worth for our soldiers sacrifice that shines upon the earth. You had nothing to prove,we had everything to gain and as a HERO you'll remain. Through you can't see the tears that we have cried,I know you can feel they fall from our true sense pride. We have never felt so alive than when we celebrate the freedom you provide
Thank you son.
Love Always, Dad, Barbara, Michael, and Patrick
August 17, 2007
There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Lucas:
Although we did not get to know you very well, as you left home shortly after we moved in, it was a priveledge to know- even briefly - such a fine man and soldier. You left this world at such a young age and it is hard for us all to understand, but I know that God has BIG plans for you or he would not have brought you to him so soon. We all love you, miss you, and thank you for sacrificing your own future to give us all a better one. God Bless You!
Lorrie, Tim, Matt, Stacy and Kelly:
I want you all to know that our heart is with all of you during this time of sorrow. It is not understandable to us why Lucas was taken at such a young age, but I am sure that God has big plans for him. I guess now we are left to cherish our memories and look forward to when we can all be together again- when sadness itself will be a distant memory. God Bless You All.
Much Love and Support,
David, Lexye, Adam, Darius, and William.

To the Family and Friends Spc. Frantz...
One life lost, is one life too many. We are just getting our lives back in order after losing our beloved Granddaughter, A1C Elizabeth N. Jacobson, a Security Forces Blue Beret, who lost her life in Iraq, 9-28-05. She is now guarding the gates in Heaven and we want you to know that he will not be forgotten and hope that you will be as proud of him for serving as we were of Elizabeth. Without our children this Country would not be what it is today, whether from the first War for freedom until today's wars, we give our lives so Freedom can be obtained. I wish it was different, but unfortunately, it is going to be someone's loved one. May G-d bless our troops, and hopefully, someday Freedom and Peace will reign, so they all can be brought home safely.
No matter what type of accident or act of war, a loss of a child or friend is very traumatic, I know that it isn't much consolation, I hope that you know that there are others that feel your pain.
Elizabeth's motto was "We're only on Earth for a little while, so live life to the fullest and carry a smile."
prayers to you all

May God bless you in a very special way, as He took a very special person from this world to be with Him. I thank God every day for men like your son who are willing to fight for our freedom and the freedom of oppressed nations. I know Lucas has made a difference in every life he has touched. God bless everyone in his family
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they
perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus,
our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Dear Frantz Family, I just watched the portion of the George Stephanopolis show in which they display our fallen military heroes. I like to reach out to the loved ones of soldiers in my area to extend my sincere sympathy and let you know your son, husband & brother was a hero. As a military brat of a career service Navy man, I know first-hand the sacrifice service families make for our country. Again, you're in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss... Vickie

To the Frantz Family:
My hearts goes out to all of you, for we too lost my nephew in Iraq just over a month ago. Lucas is now a soldier in God's Army. To the wife I wish you strength and mercy for the days ahead. To the parents, be encouraged, for you know that you raised a strong man who was willing to stand for something rather than falling for anything. God bless you all in your time of need. Sincerely, Sharon Williams
