I did not have the privilege of knowing Lucas, I left Kennedy several years ago to teach at Washington. I can't begin to say how sad and sorry I am. I know without a doubt he was welcomed into the loving arms of Jesus. My dad passed a year ago. He loved his grandsons so much. I'd like to think he was there to greet Lucas when he arrived. Praying for you all ❤
