Luke,

After 2 years without you, words still cannot express how said I am every day that you are not here. On milestons like your birth day and death day, I fack the shock and sadness of your loss all over again. You were one of the closest people to me, and I wish you were still here so badly. On the other hand, I imagine that you are in a place of peace, and beauty, and never ending happiness...looking over me, your mom, and all of our family to keep us safe. I will be so happy the day I can finally see you again.

P.S. please keep an eye out for Frankie's dad...he went to heaven yesterday, I'm sure he can use some pointers as the new guy :)

Kathy-

Your an amazing woman! I would like to send my thoughts to you and your family. You are truly one of Gods angels here on earth, when you were dealing with the pain of loosing a loved one you were one of the strongest angels sent to my family in the time when we needed one the most for my stepfather. For that I'm grateful and I am blessed to know you and have you apart of my family forever. May god be with you. Have a Blessed Day.

RIP Luke.You have an amazing family who miss you dearly..

My heart is with you all, today and always...we LOVE YOU LUKE!!!

"I took a joyful trip on the road which has no end...
The angels swooped me gently, into Heaven I was sent.
I'm cradled in the arms, of the ones who love me dear,
So happy and so peaceful, so much love, I had no fear.

There stood Gramma's and Grampa's, Uncle Dennis, relatives, friends,
to welcome me and snuggle me in their soft angelic wings.
I know you miss me deeply, and I long for your embrace,
But please know that I'm always with you, may the Heavens light your face.

Gramma Conley softly sang to me, as the angels swirled and danced,
into a warm and glowing heart shape, I knew this was God's plan.
So thankful for my life on Earth and love I'll always send,
as my journey's just beginning for eternity has no end.

(written with love, for Luke from Aunt Jayne)

We will love and miss you forever our beautiful Angel Luke!
Love, your Auntie Jayne

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

My dearest Luke,
This last year has sped by, uninpeeded by "my time frame". I think of you every day....agonizingly the date has come. And what should I do with this???? I humble myself at the realization that I am not in "charge". I suddenly understand that God intended me to guide, nurture, and evermore so much "Love You"...with a love that can not end...a love truer than one can preach.
I yearn to hold you back...I want you here....yet another fleeting moment of comfort for me.
Yet Luke: The comfort which you bring is real, your journey brings us together...to a place where trust and feelings and honesty can live.....if even for a moment. The treasure of you will exist forever, No Doubt.xxooxx Mom

Jayne Riley

November 5, 2009

My beautiful nephew Luke, you are so loved and missed. My heart aches that you are not with us here on earth, but I know that you are the most wonderful shining angel watching over us all. I am so thankful to have you in my life, and you will forever be in my heart and soul. Love you Always, Aunt Jayne

"I give you this one thought to keep,
I am with you still. I do no sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine
at night.
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still, in each new dawn."
(An Indian Prayer~ unknown author)

cathy leary

November 5, 2009

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

It was only one year ago I wanted to say happy birthday to you but did not yet have your new phone number. We always had so much fun celebrating your birthday, whether it was with a group of friends and family, or just us doing what we do :)
A couple years ago I got you that Boston Jersey...you are about the only person on the face of the earth I would get something whith a RedSox logo for! I hope heaven throws you one heck of a party today...I'll be thinking of you, just as always. And trust, I will celebrate in your name the way we would have if you were here. I LOVE YOU!!!

To my Brother,
It took me a very long time to sign this. I found comfort in the words of friends and some of those whom I probably will never meet. You made such a long lasting impression in my life. From our years growing up, to our final conversation. We have experienced the best and the worst that life has to offer. In the end we always emerged victorious. I still find it difficult to accept what has happened. I still refuse to believe that your gone. Everytime I look into your children's eyes I can see your love shinning through. I can tell that you will never be gone. Through your love for them you will be among us until our final days where we can meet again in person. I can recall so many vivid memories of what our lives were like growing up together. It was truly crazy. Without you by my side I would never have grown into the man I am today. I thank you for all you have taught me and I know your watching over me always and forever. I'll see you soon bro.
Your little brother,
Jack

My dear son Luke.
Every moment of every day is filled with thoughts and memories of you. It is so difficult to find a reason to believe. I love you so much Luke, that oftentimes I cannot catch my breath. You are a part of me and I will never let you go. God Bless You.
Love, Mom XXOOXX

Hi Luke,
I am going to miss you so much for the Holidays. Even though they aren't canceled this year, they are in two separate places. Please make sure you stop by at both...a holiday without my Bartons is going to be difficult and different. But I will be comforted if you swing by for a little grub :). Love you fave.

P.S. when I saw Lucas and Mikayla the other weekend, we had so much fun together. I LOVE them!

oh luke, if you are watching, i'm sure you are humbled by the outpour of love amoung your family and friends. it's ironic that you are the life we celebrate. the star that never would have wanted to be in the limelight, though if it were another life, you would be first and formost there to offer your love and help.
i will love you forever unconditionally, and will do what i can for your mom & the rest of the family. please do what you can to come through. i know you're there, i'm just a bit cloudy, and unsure of the signs. put grandmom and grandpop on it too, ok?

love yfa, karen

Dearest Nephew Luke,
I keep hearing the words "To love another person is to touch the face of God" and you touched Gods face over and over and over again.
You were Gods Carpenter mending and building, constructing with care creations from scratch. I think how the world has learned from your tools: Patience, kindness, diligence, doing it again, creating and re-creating, carving new paths, finding different avenues, traveling journeys many of us fail at; You Luke Succeeded Beyond Belief!!!. You excelled in Son-manship, Fatherhood,Brotherhood.
were a Friend of true loyalty, a Man ...a true Man in every sense of the word, brother, in school and in life an outstanding student, you became a talented highly skilled and much in demand worker, you supported your family emotionally, physically and financially. In a time When people today run away from relationships, responsibilities and families, you my sweetheart ,ran toward them! You collected hearts, held them close to you and never let them go!!!!!!!
Like the carpenter Jesus was, you spent a lifetime building goodness,
holding other peoples hearts, caring to help them be able to get to where they would be more comfortable and you comforted others.
Those are all marks of an incredible, honorable man with integrity, wisdom and faith. Always making it better. God must have needed his man Luke in heaven to help fix the world. He said to you Job well done Son, time for another way of doing things from here. I say well done Luke. No one, and I mean no one I have ever know, has taught more about love than you. You knew that love and sorrow come together, they are not opposites but part of life and the plan. As a spiritual man, you took a journey
here with your toolbox to teach us we are love and we do love so we can help each other out through the sorrowful times that are a normal part of the human condition and turn them into more love through kind words, comfort, a smile, a pat, a hand to hold, a call in the middle of the night.
You will no doubt still be doing these things from heaven. Your children are the most incredible little people!!!! Their teachers as well as your friends, community, family clearly saw an extroadinary father in you. You were an exceptional human being
and will make an incredible spirit guide for all of us. Many lives will change because you were here for the better and I know you saw how many tears and stories were expressed at your services. Hundreds and hundreds of people have been touched by you and more will know you through your children, through your character, through your wisdom and message to all : love others, show it, and know that you are loved, do not ever doubt that because you have touched the face of God. Luke, you have done God's work, and your are held gently now rewarded for a job well done!

Loving and Missing you Always Luke!
Love,
Aunt Janet

When I decided that I wanted to create a compilation of what Luke represented to me, my mind quickly became a whirlwind...what wasn't he? Above all else, Luke was a tremendous father. he was a wonderful friend, an extrememly dedicated craftsman, and his own toughest critic. The following is a poem I composed in remembering one of the most amazing people in my life...my cousin Luke.
I'm so thankful that I knew you
And to have shared the times we did
I'm so lucky to be your family
And to have know you since I was a kid
I love that you were my first close friend
And that I shared everything with you
I'm so glad that bond never went away
And that we maintained our closeness...even as we grew
I'm so fascinated by your unfaltering dedication
And determination to always improve
I'm so proud of how far you've come in life
And admire your every move.
I'm so inspired by your love for family
And your willingness to bend
I'm so blown away by your patience
And your abaility to mend.
I'm so amazed by your children
And how they reflect all you wanted them to be
I'm so in love with who they have each become
And I know everyone agrees
I'm so impressed by your dedication to your work and those you love
I'm going to miss you immensely
But have faith in your new life above
You always said "Only God can judge me"
And I know the saying is true
Looking at all the people who love and cherish you in this world
I hope you realize that your toughest critic was you.

In my heart, prayers, and thoughts forever and ever until we meet again

Jennifer and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn and remember your loved one.

November 11, 2008

Dearest Jennifer, Bret and Jack,
My heart aches with you as we help deliver our beloved Luke to the Lord. He was amazing. Insightful, honest, loyal and sensitive; he oftentimes took us by surprise, especially during moments of intense emotion. It is through this I believe, that we have gained a deeper knowledge of how important it was to him that we see his heart, and to understand the man that we so proudly call brother, son, and friend. Your love for Luke, and your support for Milayla and Lucas, for your father, myself, for relatives, friends and others who mourn will never be forgotten, nor has it been given in vain. Through you continues the legacy, through your love he lives.
God Bless you. I love you more than words can say.
XXOOXX Mom

to kathy and all the family,
another angel on earth will be missed-
now, he can spread his wings-
i'll always remember how good and proud a father he was and how i look forward to his and his children visits to the office.
hope the memories and spirit of him will shine brightly every day for you.

To the Barton Family: A loss of this kind can not be expressed simply in words alone. A loss of this kind must be reflected upon and remembered everyday as a reminder of the kind of person he was, a reason for people to want to do good in honor of him, to be better in honor of him...my deepest sympathy, prayers and thoughts are with you and always will be. Anything I can do for you I am here for you. Luke will always be remembered....

Kathy and the Barton Family- My deepest sympathies go to you and your family at this sad time. Luke was such a caring person, always willing to lend a helping hand and asked for nothing in return. My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. May wonderful memories bring you comfort.

To the Barton/Conley Family:
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. Luke was loved by so many. He was a very dear cousin to me and my heart was always lighter in his presence. He was a sweet, sensitive, compassionate man, wonderful father and a truly gifted soul. I am blessed to have shared my childhood with him and will forever remember his serene smile and beautiful bright angelic eyes. I love you all and I am always here for you.
