Lucas,
A year has passed and our hearts are still heavy. It is said that time heals, but our hearts are still heavy and the acceptance has not been removed. I am praying for your family, knowing that the next few months will be especially difficult. Holidays are difficult when loved ones are gone. May the peace we so desperately seek fall gently upon us as we continue to celebrate your life. Keep looking down on us and showering us with God's love and protection. You will be forever in my heart, Much Luv,

It's been exactly a year without you here. We all miss you and love you. Keep watching over us as we walk these lonely days without you. Bro, you don't know how much you mean to us, not a day goes by without us bringing up a memorie of you. We think of you every second of the day and we MISS you so much and wish that it wasn't you.

Hi Lucas,
Today I was greeted by your beautiful face! Lucas in black!. Your headstone is a great tribute to you. While I was there I met your brother-in-law, Mo and boys. He was checking your stone also. It will make coming so much more personal now. Spring is coming and soon the grass will be green and the shock and unexpected time of your leaving us will bring us a little more peace when we visit. Still missing your presence.....

Luc,
I sit up at night crying wishing you was here wondering why it had to be you? It's hard "to say goodbye". I miss you so much...i come and write in here because there's no way i can go to the grave yard it seems like everyone is to busy or they just ain't in a right mood, so i don't bother them or even ask them. Man primo this hurts. Its hard to see you not at home or up in the morning eating up all the food like usual. Man its way different that you ain't here, there's day where i come home from school and think your be laying on the couch with the fan on high and than i realize this is real..and than its hurts even badder. I just wish it wasn't you. Man, we was watching Diana'a wedding video the other day and it made me cry because i seen you and mike there.Losing people ain't easy it HURTS...than i start thinking of why God took you sooner than we thought he would take anyone. Primo i know you will with us in spirit pero I wanted you to be here at my party cause i know having you there i won't have a bad day cause you make sure everything will go alright.You'll make sure no one messes with me or the crowd is laughing the whole time. I just want you to be here well everyone does...i still dont believe this and its about to be 4 months without you,i just can't believe it! Well primo, i'll come back and talk to you laters...See you later down the road! MISS YOU & LOVE YOU!

To my baby Lucas,

Life is not the same without you. You were my best friend before anything else, and as our feelings grew stronger I fell deeply in love with you as you did with me. And I still love you to this day and forever. When you went to heaven you took a part of my heart that i will never get back and I dont want it back either cause its with you and it will remain there until we meet again(which im looking forward to.) Its hard but Im moving on with my life as you would have wanted me to. You always told me to be strong and dont worry about what people think cause you would take care of them :) and I know your lookin down from heaven and protecting me like you always did when you were here. Sisali asks," Momma when is Lucas coming back from Heaven so I we can go see him?" and she also wants you to take her to the gas station for candy and bug juice :) She misses going down to your house and playin with you and the kids. Lucas I took for granted that you would always be there and it kills me that your not. But no matter what You know I always loved you and always will. My favorite memory is when we were in the van picking up your mom and sis from work and you said said something soo funny your mom had to pull over cause we were laughing sooo hard we all had tears. You were always a shining star in everyones life and when I look up in the sky and find the brightest star, I know it is you!
Take care up there until we meet again.

Love Always,
Cassie

to my bro,
wHATS UP BRO, SITTING HERE KICKING IT WITH OUR FRIENDS DREINKING AND THINKING ABOUT YOU. all I ask is for you to look down on us and after your boys, It's so hard to think about you each and everyday the boys(eli and Julien ake so much like you. Man it's so hard to live each and everyday without you. Mom is holding in there but it is so hard. You were this familys back bone and know your gone. But you know what each and everyday I still hear your voice and your silly laugh. Stay strong in our hearts and thoughts just remember bro that I LOVE YOU more than anything in this world.

Lucas,
This Sunday was a beautiful one! Unlike the other weekends, it was not a cold, bitter day. I just wanted to let you know that I did not leave with tears on today's visit. Maybe the acceptance of you leaving us is finally being realized. Your presence is missed so very much, but God is taking away some of the pain and replacing it with peace. The understanding, well, that is another story. But He told us not to try and understand on or own, just trust Him and His works. See you next week.

Sherry Segura

January 10, 2008

Well baby brother, Thanksgiving, your birthday, Christmas & New Years have come and gone since you left us.
I miss you. My head knows you're gone from here, but my heart looks for you everywhere. I know you wouldn't want us to linger in the pain of losing you, but I can't seem to get through one day without crying, not one. The tears just spill out.
The boys are fine. They miss you. We talk about you all the time. They love to hear stories of when you were a little boy. They look so much like you. I told them that you took the love you have for them to Heaven with you. I promise Lukie, I will always be there for them. I know you would expect no less from me.
I come to visit you all the time. I talk to you, I pray you can hear me. My love for you extends far beyond this world.
I will miss you everyday of my life.
Until we meet again, always and forever, your big sister Sherry

Luke,
Hey bro yea x-mas cam and gone and so is new years but so what they were not the same and never will be. On X-Mas day mom was crying and Julian (Lucas Jr.) came up to mom and started rubbing her on the back and said it's ok grandma my daddy is up in the sky with all the angels and he don't want you to be sad.
That right there makes everybody relize you never know how bad you'll miss somebody until they are taking from you in the blink of an eye. But just watch over us bro and make sure those boys make the right choices. We love you and always will.
LOVE ALWAYS, YOUR SIS AMANDA HOLMAN

Daniel and Tammy,
I can rember taking Lucas shopping. He was just a little boy. I also rembering visiting him at the hospital he was so young. I think about him everyday. Why he left so young? He is our angel now. I dont have any words that can take your pain away.I would like to send you a verse from the bible

"Fear not for I am with you: be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" Isaiah 41:10

I'm just a call away if you need anything. My Brother Daniel I Love You very much

Eva DePeralta

November 29, 2007

Uncle Daniel and Aunt Tammy,
Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have promised us a gift. A gift that if we do what is asked of us, then he will give us eternal life. I believe that the Lord would not sacrifice as he did, if there was not a reason for us to live beyond this earth. There would be no point in living here on this earth, if it was just to live. He wants us to be tested, he wants us to hurt, he wants us to learn how it feels to lose, to love, to be successful, to have a family, to give to others, to receive from others, and to teach and finally through all of this.... to learn. We take only our minds with us when we die, we take our knowledge and we take our love. Lucas's body will be in her perfect state, and he will have peace beyond our knowledge. The only thing that ever kept me a float when losing loved ones, is the Promise that our Savior has given us, and that is to return to live with him someday. What a gift and what a reason to live and to strive to be more like him. You will always have an angel watching over you, although that comfort is far from actually touching or seeing Lucas, it brings a sense of peace in knowing that that one day you will find that comfort again by the Lords promise if we but endure to the end

Lucas,As I sit here writing this letter I cant help bit remember the first time I got the chance to meet you,(YOU MEM-BER). How you walked over to your sister Deanne and handed her a single long stem rose.That is when I noticed such a big heart in such a small kid.And as you grew into a hard but very wise young man,who lived life on your own terms.I cant but to go back to that first day years ago. Lucas, many knew you.But only a few really understood.I'm glad too have been part of the few.I also want to thank you for being there as an uncle to Anthony and Andrew,They both miss you very much.They will both honor your memory forever.Sadden that you were taken from us. You left us with two precious rose buds. Myself along with the rest of the family will see to it that they are looked after and loved, so they too may blossom into two bright health roses. Just like the one you gave to your sister Deanne.Lucas always remember this I will always lend you my sight so that you can also see them grow Catch up to you down the line.MOE

It's a bitter-sweet felling. I'll never say "good-bye" just "see you one day". I love you..And your free now. Your Sis, Dee

REMEMBER ME

Remember me when flowers bloom in the spring.
Remember me on sunny days in the fun that summer brings.
Remember me in the fall as you walk through the leaves of gold.
And in the winter's time remember me in the stories that are told.
But most of all remember each day, right from the start.
I will be forever near, for I live within your heart.

Ms. Yo (Joyce Whytus

November 11, 2007

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.

I miss him, I loved him, he was my baby brother and now I've buried him. The only thing that has gotten me through this whole ordeal is the thought that I will see him again one day. I want to thank everyone who came and paid their respects to Lucas. Reading your words in this guest book has touched me deeply. Keep the faith and pray for my family. We love you all and GOD bless. I love you Lucas and I anticipate the day I will be able to laugh with you again. Love your big brother Pat.

My Baby, My son, He's gone. My heart is shattered in a million pieces, never to be whole again. I remember the day of his birth as though it was only yesterday. Such joy, such madness and so much love did I share with my beauitful son. I am not sure how I will get through this, for I still expect to see him walk through the door at any minute and yet I know that will never be. If not for my oldest son, Patrick, who planed his little brother's beautiful funeral while he also was torn apart, for family, for all of his friends and most important of all, God's strength, I could not get throught this. Lucas, my beauitful baby, I Love you and you are so much a big part of my heart, that is now missing. God, please, take care of my baby until I can see him again. Thank all of you for your prayers and Love.

Lucas was my baby brother. I was 16 when he was born and from that second he was mine. He was the most beautiful baby. As a little boy he looked exactly like Julian does today. His two son's meant EVERYTHING to him. He had so many friends. I was so very touched at just how many people came to say goodbye to my brother. From my heart, I thank you all. I am asking you to do what Lucas can't do anymore: Please look after Julian and Angelo. Help Loraina make sure they grow into good strong men. Tell them about their father and how much he loved them. I also ask those that love Lucas to
PLEASE..PLEASE live your life in such a way that your mother, father, brothers, sisters, family and friends will never know the unbearable sorrow and endless tears that my family will endure every minute of every day for the rest of our lives.
Good-bye my baby brother. When it is my time to leave this world, your face is the first one I will look for. God keep you. I love you Lukie always and forever, your big sister, Sherry

Father,
I pray that you be with Lucas's loved ones. Give them the strength and comfort they need at this time in their lives. Heal their heartache and pain. Multiply their rest so that they may recieve a full nights rest. For those who can't eat Father I pray that you let YOUR WORD be all the nutrition they need. Let them seek you Lord for closure in this difficult time. May peace fall upon the friends and family of Lucas. God bless!


Look to God for the answers and rest assured that He will take care of you if you just put your life in his hands.
