I awake each morning to start a new day But the pain of loosing you never goes away. I go about the things I have to do And as the hours pass I think again of you. I want to call you and just hear your voice Then I remember that I have no choice For you are not there and now my heart cries Just to see you again to tell you goodbye To say Luke I love you and I always will And hope that much of you, in me you've instilled. The day that you left I just didn't know That you were going where I couldn't go. And now all my memories of you are so dear But gosh, how I miss you and wish you were here. Who now can hear me when I need to cry? It so hard to tell you "Luke goodbye." Someday I know all will be well And I'll see you again with stories to tell Of how you were missed and how we have grown And how good it is to finally be home. Until then my memories of you I'll keep near And I'll pass them on to those who are dear. I miss you Luke. Love, Garrett

I'm deeply shocked and saddened at the sudden death of Luke. May God give him eternal rest & may his soul rest in peace! Accept my condolences and be strong & patient. My thoughts are with you. "Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality." "In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing." "Life is eternal, and love is immortal And death is only a boundary line, And a boundary line is nothing, just the limit of our sight."
