Luke Gary Dunn

Rest easy, you deserved a longer life, may you find peace up in heaven, rest in peace little man.

Dear Shane, Mary Jo, Pat and Pete and Shannon,

Like so many, I have no words to express my sadness for all of you. I just was told today and I wish I could have been at his service.

Just heartbreaking. As Gran-Carrie to Kiley Sullivan, the day-to-day struggle with cancer is heartbreaking in itself. However, we always have hope for the future somehow thinking that if we love and care for this child enough, we have some kind of power that will heal these innocents. Luke does have the biggest blue eyes I've ever seen and his personality shines through. I can't help but be angry that God didn't heal your precious gift. Know - and really feel it - that my prayers are with you and the family. Continue to hold him close - this time in prayer. Love and hugs, Gran-Carrie Ricker

My sincere condolences to you Mary Jo & Shane for your loss. This was a tough one.

I never had the opportunity to meet Luke but I followed his courageous battle. My thoughts and prayers were with you during this difficult time and will continue to be.

Dear Shane & Mary Jo, Words will never take away your pain. But please know that Luke was greeted at the doors of Heaven by some awesome people that went ahead. I have no doubt Gary and Elmer welcomed Luke with open arms, have given him lots of hugs and are looking after him now. And every time you think of Luke, know that he is thinking of you from Heaven. Rest in peace Luke. Say hi to our relatives for us.

Rest easy Baby Luke.....although I never met you....you have been in my thoughts and prayers every day.....and will continue to be..My heart felt condolences to the Dunn family...I have no words to express how sorry I am for your loss.

I can only imagine all the momas in heaven who have gone before us waiting to take that precious little child into their arms. I am comforted by this. I know he will be taken good care of until you meet him again. I am praying for you and your family for strength to get through this sorrowful time.

God Blessed you with Luke for 17 months. May those memories sustain you and see you through your awful grief. Bruce Walker

So sorry for you loss....my prayers are with you and your family.....Heaven has a beautiful little Angel looking down on you......so very sorry...........Nina Leuzzi, Newington

Dear Dunn family,
My heart absolutely breaks and aches with and for you. I lost my first-born son when I was 7 months pregnant. He fought the fight for 5 days. I was never able to see him as I almost died during delivery and was hospitalized for sometime. Keith was sent to UCONN Neonatal ICU and I was at NBGH. As devastating as that was to me, I can only imagine your pain. Many people told me, "time will heal" and I didn't believe them. I couldn't even think of the future but I did come to realize they were right. Sympathy cards from mothers who had lost a child gave me much hope as they had survived such a tragedy. Time does heal and life will go on and I promise you, you will laugh again despite the buckets of tears that you will shed. I, like you, have an angel in Heaven. Gods love for Luke was so great that he couldn't stand to see him suffer anymore. The lessons of life that you have/will learn thru this journey will take you far. Luke will make his presence known to you if you heart is open to such angel visits - he may come to you in a song, a bird, a dragonfly, ladybug, feather you find on the ground or a loud noise - somehow you'll get his "Mommy and Daddy, I'm here and all is well". These visits will bring you peace until you see each other again.
On September 11th, a movie is due to come out "90 Minutes In Heaven". I've read the book and it's amazing and so comforting.
I hope you're able to see it.
In the meantime, I will be praying for you all. God Bless Luke Gary Dunn.

Sincerely,

Chris

MaryJo and Shane no words can ever express the sadness we have. I remember meeting Luke for the first time he had on those cute little overalls, his big blue eyes an infectious smile lit up the room. The beautiful memories you have will always bring tears to your eyes but remember Luke is with you in spirit. We love you. . Jim & Juanita

Dear MaryJo and Shane, I never met Sweet Baby Luke, but with one look at his photo with his beautiful smile and blue eyes it was all I needed to fall in Love many times over. Just the words that our son Benjamin said to us I knew he was a very special Boy who was loved to the moon and back. We are so sorry for Luke's passing. The Borsellino's. God Bless you and your families.

Beautiful tribute! It is truly amazing that this little boy has touched so many of us and will continue to do so. I must thank you for keeping us updated via FB page and letting us get to know Luke. He will never be forgotten and MJ, Shane and his extended family are in my prayers. Love to all.

I've been listening to the online lullabies from around the country over and over these past few months and sharing Luke's happy giggles and beautiful smiles with so many friends up in our part of the state of CT. We've all been praying for his comfort and for you and your family's peace. I am so very sorry for your loss and we pray now for him to rest in peace and for you to be comforted in some small way knowing how many lives Luke has touched. Sincerely, Kari Ann Guerette

His Angelic face.
RIP LUKE. XOXO

What blessed little man--you're not in pain anymore--Go play and forever be happy. Mom and dad will see you once again''God needed you and chose you for his kingdom"
