Mary Camm, I am so sorry for your loss. I met Lukie years ago at UVA and he was such a joy to know. He always spoke so highly of you, Chris and Amanda. He was so excited when he found out that y'all were expecting your grandchild. He was so happy to talk (and brag) about Gemma and all of you. I know that everyone will miss him immensely. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

The last time I spoke with Lukie, he was counting the days until his retirement. Lukie was a good man and will be sorely missed. God already had a special place in Heaven waiting for him. Tammy Stratton
