Lucas, i really didnt know u even though i felt like i did cuz your parents would talk about you non-stop but that is a good thing. i really wanted to meet and see you cuz of how much your father and mother talked about you but you were there shining star. They really love you and if i met you i would have too and i probably already do because you have touched my heart in so many ways. when i saw you smile it made me smile. so remember one thing... your family loves you very much and its never going to change. Sweet Dreams little fella. its not goodbye its see you later.

I told everyone that Lucas was a little angel but I never thought he would leave us to be one. Without him there is an empty place in our hearts that can never be filled. I treasure each memory of his smile and of rocking him in my arms while he gazed up at me with his huge, expressive blue eyes.

To say how terribly he will be missed still does not express the depths of our sorrow. Life will never be the same without you, Wookie.

All of My Love,
Your Noni Kittie

My darling grandson:
I will never forget how I would come in from work to find you there. Your face would light up and your arms would raise up for me. I will always remember rocking you to sleep, holding you close to my heart. When you started to crawl, you would follow me around the house, waiting until grandma could pick you up. Your favorite toy at my house was my necklace. Whenever I wear it, I will think of you. I love you, baby. I will miss you always.

I can only say that when I held little Lucas for almost 10 hours one night on July 28th , 2007 he touched my soul and my heart. I fell so in love with his beautiful eyes and angelic little smile. He felt so wonderful in my arms and I didnt want to put him down or leave him. I wish I could have spent more time with him. He is closest to God now. A little angel watching over all the people he loved and who loved him. Love ya little guy. I cant wait to see you again in the hereafter. I know you will be there with your little arms open and a smile on your little face. I hope you remember me, Im the one who kissed your little face and feet while you slept, for hours. Im so glad I had that special time with you. love ya little guy.

Pukeface is my smile. I will forever have a hole in my heart and soul for him. A space that will never be filled. I never knew I could love someone this much. Not a day will go by without thinking of him. But we are blessed to have known such an amazing little person. I love you all. Mooches for my babies.
