Today, my sweet son, you would have been 29 years old... Hard to believe it's been nine & a half years!
You & our family were remembered at church today... Your flowers were beyond beautiful... So many came to speak w/us afterwards... You are not forgotten, my sweet.
Life continues, Luke...how that happens, w/out you here... Well, it is a mystery! We miss you so much - tis a pain unlike any we've ever known! Yet through all the tears & pain & sorrow, we have hope - in our risen Lord, & we do find moments of joy - in the blessings from Him, & we can rest - in the knowledge we WILL be with you again, one day.
All thanks & praise to our living God, for it is through Him we are connected forever!
See you soon, my son - I love you forever, (we ALL do!),

Oh sweetie... Today is Boxing Day! We celebrated your life on what would have been your 28th Birthday, December 11th, 2021... and on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & like every day, even today - Boxing Day. This year we included your two future sisters-in-law, for the first time... that was difficult, but good... You would really love Kate & Cassandra, & I know you would be so happy for your brothers! ...our family is growing, Luke, though sadly will never feel quite right or complete...without you.
We will always remember, Luke-Duke... Always. ...and tonight, for the first time since you awoke in heaven, we are watching Harry Potter. Every moment of this movie reminds me of moments with you... How you loved & resonated with Harry Potter...his joys & plights... Oh my Luke, how I (& us all) miss you so...
Lots of big steps this year, Luke... and in the coming months! & As we watch this first HP movie, I am wistful for days gone by... ... remembering all the things, how your Da & I wanted to provide you & your brothers with that magical life... It was for awhile, I suppose, though I wish the magic could have lasted a bit longer...
I know you have better than that now, my sweet. ...and I know we all will be together one day, when it is time.
Until then, know how much we all love you, & how blessed we all are to have known you for 19&1/2 years. We all wish it would have been longer, though knowing we will have eternity together is one of our greatest blessings.
See you & HIM at our glorious reunion, my sweet son.
Love you forever,

Another year gone by since that fateful day, Luke... Your Da & I were talking this afternoon, as we lay flowers on your final resting place... We spoke of the pain of losing you & the longing to see all you would have become... to have you part of everything this life continues bestowing on us all. We miss you, Luke - there are no words to describe how very much.
We all rest assured that you are in a much better place, with Him... 'though life on earth will never feel right or complete without you here, we know we will be together at some point.
We love you more than you will ever know - how I wish you were here for us to shower you with all that love!!! Of course, I know, the love in Him & with Him is all any of us ever need, & YOU, my dear sweet son...you have that now!!!
Until our glorious reunion in Him, I will always love you more than forever! Most! Infinity! Quits...

Oh my dear, sweet Luke... Today you would have been 27-years-old... 27!!! I cannot even believe it... It has been ever so long, yet merely a blip in time. My love for you, like any Mom, is fierce, mighty, and everlasting... never-ending.
There are no words to describe the meaning - or the pain - of the loss of you and your beautiful, sensitive soul. No words, dear Luke...
Simply
No
Words...
...but there is love, always & forever, there is love.
Love is all we ever have, Luke...& we ALL loved you (still do) - more than you ever realized. For that, I am ever so sad. You lived your life in search of that love that is bigger than you could know, yet all along Luke, that love was there. The love you searched for was always there, yours for the taking... Always yours...
Always, Luke. Always yours - then, now and going forward. Forever Luke - because that's what Love is all about.
Love is forever, Luke...and I - we all - LOVE YOU!
Then,
Now,
Forever...
Happy 27th Birthday to you, my sweet, and FOREVER in HIM,

Today marks seven years since that horrible morning, Luke... Seven long, difficult years. We, and many others, I am sure, miss you more than you could ever imagine. Your life mattered, my dear Luke, it had value and a purpose - and I pray your legacy lives on... ...just as YOU live on in our hearts and minds and souls.
I never thought we would have had to deal with something like this. ...I know you never wanted this for any of us, and I am certain you feel horrible. ...or perhaps, perhaps you are "protected" from that in heaven...? Perhaps everyone's experience of heaven is different? I do not know the answer, Luke - but someday I will.
For now, I shall live in the knowledge I have now - the beliefs I have now - the memories I have of you - and the undying love a mother has for her child, her children. My god - it sounds like I 'forgive' you! ...I just don't know if there is something/anything to forgive...? I know what happened was not what you intended... perhaps I am hoping you can forgive me, forgive us...? We did the best we knew how at the time - throughout your life - we did the best we could.
I know there are things I do not know - and when I leave this earth and join you & the rest of my family in Heaven - with Jesus - I know THEN that I will know all... the sad and strange irony is THEN - I will not even care...
NO matter, Luke... I love you - then, now and forever. There is something special and different about a 'first-born' - we shared that special bond for many years. Your 'growing up', in the latter years of your short life, was fraught with existential angst... This world took you away from us, Luke, in the worst way...
...ramblings of a mother... with so much more to say... too late, I am afraid... too little, too late... The one thing, however, that will never change, is just how very much I - all of us - love you, Luke...
...you are my sunshine, my only sunshine...
I love you, sweet Luke - we all love you... and look forward to the day when we are united in Heaven with Christ our Lord and Savior... THAT is a day I shall celebrate for all of eternity.
Forever in Him, my sweet sweet Luke,

Merry Christmas to you, my dear sweet Luke... a very Merry Christmas... This season never gets easier - it will always be "without you" - is "without you" ...rather sad, that...
Life goes on, and the world goes on, and things continue moving and changing - as they must, I'm sure...
This is not easy, by any means, Luke. All those things a Mom should feel 'joy' for - well, they are forever overshadowed with the loss of you. So few truly understand - I find it difficult to even put into words - this perpetual place of - something..."yuck" is the only word that comes to mind. When something should feel 'good' - in general, in life, as seasons change... I want things to stop, and time to reverse, but it never does.
...and when things seem like - just possibly - they might be ok (even if only for a little while), something happens to smack me right back into the reality that time does not and will not - will never - just STOP!
Those things of 'joy' I spoke of? Well, here's the thing... it's you, Luke - or the lack of you. You are missing from the 'equation' of our lives, and THAT is why it never quite adds up! ...why it never will. ...and why there is no rest and no moments where it all stops - even if only for a moment or so, it simply will never happen - certainly not this side of heaven.
Here is another "should" my dear Luke - you SHOULD be here...
I miss you, Luke Nicholas - my heart breaks daily for you... so many tears I shed for you - who you were as a wee baby, a toddler, the things you said, the things you did, and yeas, the things that could have been.
Sometimes this pain feels like too much...too much yuck... it is hard, Luke, and oh so heavy... and I just want to hold you in my arms - like when you were my wee little boy. ...just hold you and never let you go, singing softly in your ear the holy words of a mother's undying love,,,
I love you Luke Nicholas and wish you a very Merry Christmas - always - and always and forever I remain your Moms...
December 11, 2019
Hey there - Happy 26th earthly birthday, Luke. Not sure my post from IG will show up here, so I thought I would send, at the very least, a HBD wish to you!!! You are in my thoughts daily - I know the same is true for many others...you are also missed - EVERY DAY by ever so many people...by all of us, Luke - your family.
Diesel left us yesterday, Luke...such a peaceful passing, though ever so difficult. His passing felt so connected with you & yours. ...as if some of the grief and tears that - for whatever reason - did/could not come out back then, or over the last 6 & 1/2 years, came out with 'diesel's passing... Like you, he left us ever so quiet and peacefully. Puff - like all of us that day, I guess - was loud & unrelenting in his grief and loss...
we miss you, luke. Life just is not the same without you. 'we are sad and, in some ways, lost - though every year that passes seems to bring a bit - a drop more clarity & meaning... ...perhaps I merely want that and fool myself into believing it is true... ...perhaps not.
What I know, my sweet is the love I feel for you will never cease, and the hole in my heart - that was filled with you - shall never fill or close. You are and always will be my missing piece... for all of us, I am sure.
loving you with all m heart and soul, and wishing you a Happy 26th 'earthly' birthday... I cannot wait for the glorious celebration in heaven.
I love you, Luke Nicholas - always and forever!

Today marks six years since your birth into Eternal Life, my Luke, and not a day goes by without a thought of (or a tear for) you. You, dear Luke, were the first - my first - and I remember so many things - so many moments we shared - just us - beginning when I first knew I was (finally!) pregnant. I treasure it all, Luke, and would go back and do it all over again if I could...
"You are my Sunshine, my only sunshine..." is just one of the many songs I sang to you back then. I knew if God blessed us with more children, our time with just each other would only be for so long, so I did whatever I could to love you and nurse you and laugh with you and watch as you discovered the world.
I wanted each day to last forever, Luke... As our family grew - so did my love, and so did yours! It brought a tear to my eye every time I found you curled up with one of your brothers, loving them and protecting them - even sharing your 'nukkie' with them if they had lost theirs. Such a sweet and sensitive young lad... my son... my Sunshine.
The pain of losing you overtakes me as I relate these poignant memories, and this grief journey I never asked for continues... I know my heart for you will always be broken. Such a tough thing for many to understand or fully comprehend, though most, (if not all), Moms who have lost a child do - 'get it,' that is. Definitely a "club" I never wanted to join...
Yes, six years ago today - exactly - it was a Tuesday then, too. Events of that entire day shall never be erased from my mind - like so many moments and events in your life... Your beginning, your middle - and your 'end' here on earth, why would I NOT want to know and remember it all??? The part of me that resists the 'knowing' (of your ending) is the part that screams 'this makes no sense' 'this is not how it is supposed to go' 'this is backwards' or 'wrong'...
...no mother should ever have to bury her child... or find her child's lifeless body, or 'pick out his nicest clothes' or any of the million 'end-of-life' things that need doing! NO! That wasn't ever supposed to be my job... ...but it was... In the end, Luke - in your end, that is exactly what I did - what we did - your Dad & I
...and as difficult as your birth was - the pain a distant memory and the joy and elation of your life all around, well... the difficulty of your beginning pales exponentially in comparison to your ending...
That, my sunshine, is a pain that permeates my very being...
"They" say the day will come when the 'good' outweighs the 'bad,' when thoughts of you will be "more positive than negative." Perhaps this is true, perhaps not... I guess, judging from that last bit, I have yet to reach that day...
You are my sunshine, Luke - forever...
& forever in HIM,
& forever your
~Moms
PS: I love you - forever, and more...

One of my treasured friends, a mom who 'gets it' shared this with me today - the fifth year since your birth into eternal life...
"...And one day, everything changed...my whole world upside down, my heart broken in pieces on the ground...my precious boy was taken from me...so suddenly & so tragically...just one day..."
I remember that day,five years ago, like it was yesterday, Luke... every moment, everything that happened that day, every minute...
every,
agonizing,
moment,
and
every,
shuddering,
breath
I
breathed...
and every breath,
every,
single,
breath
you...
did...
not.
I know, Luke, that everyone alive has suffered...that everyone alive has their own story... I get it...
Yet somehow, on this day, none of that matters. All that matters is you, Luke, your story, and our story - our family.
Selfish, perhaps - for that I am sorry, truly...yet on this day especially, there is still a very private and personal need to be - just be, with our grief just be, with our memories
just be, with us - your family of origin, Dad, Me (Mom), Noah & Oliver...
just be...
We all love and miss you more than forever, Luke - we cannot believe it has been five years, it seems a lifetime yet only a moment - much like the wild and wacky, wonderful lovable conundrum that was you...
Love you forever, Miss you for always, as long a we're living...
you are forever cherished, my sweet Luke Duke,
Rest in Peace,my sweet son, Forever In HIM,
~Moms, Dad,
Noah & Oliver

I light this candle for you my dear, sweet first-born son...wish I could be lighting 24 to honor your birthday today...
...time passes by, yet somehow the minutes and hours are agonizing as they slowly creep and crawl...my head and heart are consumed with memories and thoughts and love, Luke - all for you...who you were and who you might have become. I know God's plans are for good and not evil Luke, and I know we will be reunited one day...feels like forever 'til I'll be whole again...
You are our missing piece, Luke...the agonizing hole in my heart only you can fill. Rest forever in Jesus' arms, my Luke Duke...such a gift to be your Moms, I love you more than forever, Luke Nicholas...Hope you danced with Jesus today as you celebrated your (earthly) birthday...

Oh my dear sweet Luke,
Our hearts are heavy today as it is the fourth year since your birth into eternal life. Heavy, Luke...though not for you, but for the missing piece in our lives as (somehow) the world continues without you. We find comfort knowing your were marked as a child of God - through your baptism as a wee infant, and again, through your confirmation Yes, my son, we know you are rejoicing in heaven, and we thank God for that gift. No more pain or confusion, no more fear or shame or feeling lost...for you...
Selfishly, our heavy hearts are because of our humanness... the excruciating pain of the loss of a child - no matter their age - is often more than we think we can bear...and the pain of losing a big brother, a grandson, a nephew...a friend...we all have pain, Luke - that is the nature, as you well know, of life on earth. We all look forward to our glorious reunion in Heaven, Luke - how I long to hold you in my arms again...
Sadly, Luke, we continue being reminded of the tragedies affecting our young people - as our grief now includes the loss of Oliver's friend, Evan. We pray for peace and comfort for his parents and younger brother - and, by the grace of God, will do our best to walk this horrific journey with them. This is a walk NO parent or sibling (or grandparent, uncle, aunt, friend, etc) should ever walk...and certainly never walk alone. I often wonder, Luke, is this how God uses tragedy for His purpose?
I vowed four years ago that neither your life or death will ever have been in vain. Perhaps this is how one begins creating meaning out of the inexplicable and horrific events in this world...perhaps this is how your love and memory live on...perhaps perhaps perhaps, dear Luke...
One thing I know for certain - sure as the sun will rise tomorrow - is my/our love for you is never gone - it continues growing, in spite of the end of your time in this world.
I love you most - infinity - quits! You are my sunshine, Luke Duke...and I pray that how we live out our daily lives bring honor to the life you lived here on earth - and emanates the love and grace, and the glory of our risen Lord. For in that, my dear boy, lies our one true hope.
I love you more than forever, Luke...

Oh my dear, sweet Luke...today marks three years since you were born to eternal life, and the pain just never goes away... How could it, really... Love know no bounds. You were my first born son, Luke - miraculous and holy - from that moment, I wanted nothing more than to love you and protect you from all the evils of this world... Yet, sadly, the fierce and mighty love of this mother simply was not enough.
Never in my wildest dreams - or scariest nightmares - did I believe this horror would be part of our lives...that your life would tragically end, before it even truly began (in many ways). It is a constant struggle to reconcile the fact that you are gone from this earth, but had so much more to do and experience here...
There simply are no words to encompass the depth of pain I feel, Luke...that all of us feel... Joyous occasions are forever tainted or dulled by the glaring emptiness of the place you should be. You are forever our "missing piece" - how will our family ever be complete again? The answer is, it will not - it can not - because you are no longer with us...
Winnie the Pooh said it best...as he released a red balloon in the air...
"You may be gone from my sight...but you are never gone from my heart." Wise old Pooh-bear...
May God hold you in His loving arms there, and all of us here...'til we meet again and I/we can hold you again - forever.
God bless you my son...I love you always,

Today marks 21 months since you were born to eternal life...whoever said this all gets 'easier' must never have lost a child. Not a day goes by without thoughts of you, Luke...so many memories...so much love for beautiful, sensitive you...
Oh my sweet sweet son...we all miss you so much - your brothers, your Dad and me...and we miss all those moments that we will never have...
We all look forward to seeing you again one day Luke...in His time...and I pray for patience - to wait, and I pray for wisdom and strength to do His will...
I will never forget...none of us will, Luke. Your life is forever intertwined with mine - with ours...and I pray we all continue fighting the good fight...for you, my Luke...and forever in HIM.
Rest in peace my Luke Nicholas...
I love you forever,

Merry Christmas my dear sweet son...time, unfortunately, does not "heal" -rather...each 'milestone' -each family celebration...all are missing something...missing you...and time will never 'heal' the empty place, fill the endless void with the missing piece...because nothing and no one will ever be you, Luke...you will never be replaced...and our lives will never be the same...
We know you celebrate in heaven...we know you have peace and joy...for that, we praise our Lord - who gives and takes away - in His time and for his purposes...but our human hearts remain broken...our only healing is through Christ, in His perfect timing, and when we reunite again - where there is no pain, no hurt, no loss...
Until then, my son, Merry Christmas to you, may your celebration be filled with dancing -for joy, and forever with Jesus.
Love you forever Luke Duke,

July 29, 2014
Oh my sweet sweet boy...today was the day that was to be the beginning of - at least - some justice...in this horrible horrible nightmare. Unfortunately, the judge has a family emergency, and the defendant will not stipulate to changing judges/courtrooms...so again, we wait. Perhaps this is not the venue, perhaps my frustrations should not be documented...but there is little else for any of us to do, but continue to wait, continue to hope, and always, ALWAYS continue to pray.
Life "moving on" is difficult - I wonder if I/we will ever truly "adjust" - how can we, really? It is 'normal' for children to grow, "launch' from home and create a life for themselves...but when a child grows, struggles during the launching process and ultimately loses his life - before the 'launching' is complete - there is no sense in that...no explanation, no understanding, no happy ending, no nothing. You were here, then gone, Luke...and we all are left with the shock, grief, horror, and never-ending questions.
I thank God we were blessed with your presence for 19 1/2 years...and yes, I will always wish our time together was longer, but I know God has a plan...for all of us...and He uses everything - even this horror - for HIS purpose, for good and not evil, to further HIS kingdom...all for HIS glory.
I pray you are fulfilling YOUR purpose - that which HE had planned for you before you were ever born to us...I pray I can live my life to honor your memory, and in line with HIS purpose for me...I pray this for all of us, Luke. ...and I pray you know, now,the depth of love I - all of us - feel for you...that you know now how very much you meant and mean to me and your Dad and brothers. Precious few, here on earth, understand the depth of love and connection a mother has for her children...to say 'I miss you' seems grossly inadequate, but there are no other words. I do miss you, my Luke Duke...our lives will never be the same...ever...and I look forward to our glorious reunion - when the time is right - in HIS plan...
...until that day my Luke, I rest in the comfort that our Lord and Savior welcomed you home last summer - enveloped you in His arms stating 'Well done, My good and faithful servant...'
I love you my Luke - then, now, and always...
~Moms
PS: Dad got rid of the van yesterday...how sad to come home to the empty place in the driveway - where it has been since the last time you drove it...rather silly, yes? It's not the van really, but what the 'lack of van' represents... You are forever in my heart, my son - and my love for you is always alive...

I light this candle for you, my beautiful and beloved first-born son. I love you forever Luke Nicholas...loved you before you were even here. Our loss is certainly Heaven's gain, and I look forward to the day we meet again and live for eternity in our Lord's glory.
We celebrated your life today at Lapham Peak...and we praise God for your freedom and peace.
I miss you Luke, and love you - then, now, and always...
Forever in Him,

Although tomorrow is the actual date of our tragic loss one year ago, it happened on a Tuesday...making today - in a sense - the 'day' I remember all too vividly...the day our world changed forever...the day our beautiful son went 'home' to His Savior. The pain and horror are as real today as then...and the passage of time has not changed things - how can it, really? My son is gone from this earth, and nothing and no one can change that. This year - (has it really been a year?) - all year - the great dichotomy...each day drags on forever, yet the weeks and months fly by...was it not just yesterday when my beautiful Luke took his first steps, said his first words, looked up with those big brown eyes to tell about the dodecahedron...or - growing taller than me, looked down with those big brown eyes and beautiful smile - hugging me tightly saying "I love you Moms" - ? Luke was all about love - truly - always putting family and friends before himself - as a child and a "tween" - even as a young adult, his care and concern for his friends was always first for him. ...and the depth of his soul was often more than even he could handle.
Not a day goes by without thoughts, memories, tears, questions, bittersweet laughter - about my son... Today - and tomorrow - are just days, that is true...their significance, however, and what they represent, changed forever last summer...
To mourn and grieve such an unspeakable loss is not something one 'gets over' in a year. Tomorrow marks that 'official' milestone and our hearts are heavy...there are no words to express the depth of our loss and we thank and praise God for surrounding us with family and friends - who continue to love us and pray for us and walk with us during this difficult season...
I pray we can honor Luke's life in the way we live ours, giving all glory to Him who gives and takes away...
Forever loving you Luke, and forever In Him,
~Mom

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.
