Jimmy, Sheila, Brandon, and Stephanie:
I want you to know that I think you all are wonderful people. You accepted me and my daughter into your family with open arms when we had nowhere to go. It's unbelievably sad when horrible things happen to wonderful people. Chris took me and Jen in as family as well, and for that he will NEVER be forgotten. I will remember him always as a great father to Andrew and a special uncle to Kaylee and Jenesis.My prayers and thoughts are with you all always. I will always be here if any of you need me.

Sheila,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
February 1, 2010
Sheila and family, you are in my heart and God will see you through. I send many prayers to you and your family during this time.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4
"Death comes into the room and leaves an awful silence.
Loss is never welcomed or convenient. The time of grief is lonesome, stressful and awkward. You feel betrayed, confused and as if someone hit you in the stomach. You need great patience with your slow healing heart. You are angry one moment and sad the next moment. May the Lord show you His tender mercies, strength and peace in the days ahead. May He surround you with the love and comfort of family and friends.

Sheila and Family, we were so very sorry to hear about your son Chris. Our sincere sympathy at the loss. Words do not convey the thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Remember the joyful times, keep thinking of the wonders Chris is enjoying now. None of us can imagine, but I wish for you peace and knowledge Chris is in the hands of the greatest healer. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. We love you and we are here if you need us. Always, the Luckett family.

I am so very truly sorry about the death of your son, father, brother... I prayed so hard to God asking that He would allow him to pull through this horrible ordeal. Apparently Our Lord, Jesus Christ needed him more. May God have mercy on you. My prayers continue so that you may be able to cope with the loss. You now have an angel that will look over your family. I am just so sorry. There just aren't the words to express the emotion.
