Luke,

The world may not know what it lost on October 30th, but those of us who know and love you sure do. You were my little bro - I love and miss you.

Luke,
I am crying for you today, and for the wonderful lives we have lost.
I know that you are now in heaven, and God is guarding you. I know that no matter how much I cry, I will never cry enough for you. I wish you can see from heaven how much we appreciate your sacrifice.

As proud of you as I am, this feeling of loss is unbearable. You had too much to live for, too many who wanted to share life with you. Good bye, dear one. I miss you.
