Luke- my Viking friend. I will miss your laughter and the way you always put others before you. I enjoyed listening to the stories you told of your brothers and sisters - how proud you were of them- but especially how much you loved your children. God has blessed me in allowing our paths to cross. See you soon my Brother in Christ.
