Sweet Luke!
Lucas was not only my boyfriend…..he was my best friend! He had a contagious smile that could get anyone through the day. Lucas had the biggest heart of anyone that I have ever met. He had the ability to brighten anyones day no matter how bad of a mood they were in. All he had to do was bust out his famous laugh and everything was automatically better. I have so many fun memories of Lucas that I cannot pinpoint just one. The memory that stands out the most was his love for Pops. In Milbrook, Pops left his motorized scooter wheelchair and Lucas would zip around on that silly thing and chase Foxy and Bear around the house. Judy mom would come every Wednesday and clean and sometimes I would help her. He would sometimes follow us around on the device and ask what we were doing and be really happy that he did not have to do any deep cleaning. I think that the cleaning days were his favorite because he would get to spend quality time with his mom.
I also remember his tumbling abilities. He would do front flips on any piece of furniture that was padded. I guess he learned that at the Armory. ( Lauren I know that you know what I am talking about) 🙂 Who could ever forget his infamous night night blanket and his love for Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, Ben Harper, Clarence Carter, and the movie Crossroads with the guy from the karate kid in it. I think I had to watch that movie about seven or eight times.
Lucas was such an easygoing guy. This was very apparent in the way that he dressed. He could make mismatched and hand me down clothes even look good! When we went to New York on his birthday to visit Tarlie and Rob we went shopping and Tarlie and I wanted to get him a shirt. He was so mad about the prices and told us that Mr. Harris, Gabe, and Chance’s cloothes were just fine. He was whining one day because Tarlie and I wanted to site see and all Tarlie had to say was the magic word……barbecue and his worries were over.
Lucas I want to thank you for loving me and always making me smile! I hope that you are happy and hanging out with Pops. You will always be with me every where I go and I will always love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He loved you and his family. Never forget that. From what I have heard, he was a great, loving and caring young man. Just remember, he would want you to be happy. Whatever you do, remember that. Take the time to realize how special you all were and are to him and to the others in your life. Never lose hope for a better tomorrow – never loose hope for a bright future. Never forget that when we lose someone, they can still live on in our hearts, our minds and our souls – but we must live. We must be all we can be and learn from each and every memory we have of all those we have loved that have gone before us. He would want that for everyone who loves him. Life is a marathon not a sprint – so take one day at a time remembering all those incredible memories and using all we have endured to make ourselves stronger people. God bless you all. Keep the faith and live life to the fullest. Find joy each day. Search for peace each day – and know peace is possible. Lucus would want it and so would God. With love from friends who care for all who are grieving.
