Luke Stephen Strand

Dear Maureen, Sending the kind of hug that only another mother that has lost a son can. I am a friend of Marisa's & I just learned of your beautiful, smart, gentle, talented, kind boy. He sounds like a gift to all that were fortunate enough to have known him. I am so sorry for his suffering and for your loss. Hold tight to your faith, as they all say, it has helped me tremendously. Be gentle with yourself & let those that love you take care of you & yours. Your beautiful Luke is now with some...

Dear Maureen, I was so saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved Luke. No words will ever take away the pain you are feeling. Take comfort in knowing that the Lord will ease your pain, and that one day you will be reunited with your son. I can empathize with you because I know that one day I too will be reunited with my little Mark, who went home to be with the Lord way too soon. God love, comfort, and bless you and your family. Love, Debbie and Jason

May your faith support you through these difficult times.

Maureen, Rebekah and Steve,
We are so sorry for your loss.
We remember Luke as a wonderful
young man. We will keep
all of you in our prayers.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Maureen, Steve and Rebekah,

My condolences to your family. Luke was always respectful and kind. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Maureen, Rebekah, and Steve,

Words cannot even begin to describe how sorry I am for your loss of a son and brother. I will always remember Luke as one of my favorite students at Center Road School. He was respectful, showed wonderful sportsmanship, and was a great athlete. We both shared a love of the Red Sox and I am proud to say that Luke was in my physical education classes. Lukes memory will live on in all of us and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Maureen, Rebekah, and Steve,

Words cannot express the sadness I feel at hearing this news. Please know so many people are thinking of you and praying for you. I remember when Luke was born. I also remember teaching him in Sunday school. He was adorable, smart, and full of laughter. I am happy to have those memories of him, and I know many people also have great memories. We will be thinking of you during this difficult time and in the time to come.

Grief is the last act...
