Dear Luke;
Welcome, little guy. We know you are having trouble now, but you are fighting and we are praying for you every day. We pray for your Mommie and Daddy too. We hope that we will get a chance to meet you someday soon. We promise to oooh and aaah until you are sick of us. Until then, we ask God to send Mary and His angels to watch over you night and day.
With our love,
Kathy and Don Maxwell
Erika, Russell, Shelby and boys - I am thinking of you all and holding you and Luke in my prayers and in my heart.
Love you guys - Candy
Erika and Russell,
We are praying for all of you that God give your family the grace that you need at this time and that Luke be given health and strength.
Love, Uncle Alfred and Aunt Rosemary
Hey Russel and Erika. Sorry to hear the little guy had a bad day. Don't worry, I'm sure he's a fighter! Keep your heads up, he needs positive energy from his mommy and daddy. Maria is at adoration right now, I'm sure praying for Luke. I have been doing the same throughout the day. I missed the boys soccer game tonight (bad foot at the hospital!) but Maria said they did well. Tell Luke that uncle Alex wants to see him soon. Love you guys.
Alex
Hey Becka Family...Baby Luke Michael is beautiful. I'm making a copy of his picture to hang up in our prayer corner. We will be devoting a Rosary, a Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and of course, Prayer to St. Michael each and every day to little Luke. Jesus' arms are wrapped around you all....what a miracle of Love. Sherry Crandell and the boys!
Dear Becka Family,
You are continually in our hearts and prayers. We are praying the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy every day for your whole family, but especially for baby Luke who is a tiny and beautiful child of God.
We pray that Luke will grow in size, strength, and health each day. We also pray that you will be surrounded with the love, peace, and hope that only our loving God can give. Know that you are also surrounded by the love and prayers of countless friends and even people whom you have never met, but who are still praying for you. Thank you for sharing the precious pictures of Luke and the rest of your family. We feel closer to him and to all of you each day. We eagerly look forward to the day when we can see Luke in person with his wonderful, devoted family.
Blessings,
Bob & Mary Gorman
Dear Friends,
You have been in my daily thoughts and prayers. Also have put Luke on the prayer chain at my church. Know that the Lord is our strength and He will never let us walk alone.
Erika and Russell,
We are friends of the Parkers who have asked us to pray for your precious Luke. I delivered twins at 27 weeks and understand what you are going through. We believe in the power of prayer so please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. He was such a beautiful, precious gift...even though the time with him was much too short. He and your family are in my thoughs and prayers.

Hi Jacob:
You make a great big brother.
I am so sad to hear about Luke. I know that this is a sad time for you and for your family. I am glad that you are there for them because you are so strong and you always make everyone around you smile. I am praying for you, Justin, Shelby and your mom and dad. Jesus is rocking baby Luke and they will always be watching over you.
Love, Mrs. Rocha
Erika and Russell,
I wish there was something I could say to console you at this time. I can't imagine how hard this must be. I am thinking about you and sending love and strength.
Love, Misee Rocha
I wish I could say something to console your family, but always know that Baby Luke will always be in your heart and is now with his creator. May God hold your family in his loving arms through this difficult time. My prayers are with you all.
Annette Medina
Erika & Russell-
My heart hurts for you and your family. I look at the pictures of Luke and see Ethan. While our roads led us on different paths, the emotions...ups, downs, good days, bad days...were similar, I'm sure. There were so many days I struggled to put on a smile while visiting Ethan, but knew, as you did, that our little guys needed positive vibes instead of tears. I spent all day and night by his side, documenting his journey, much as you did. Words of encouragment were offered by the nurses and doctors when appropriate, but with those also came words of reality. Many times, I called Kevin unable to speak from crying because of news the doctor had given me. Going through "life in the NICU" is nothing I wish upon anyone. Several people would comment on how great it was to not have gained the water weight...I quickly corrected them by saying I would have gained pound after pound if it meant staying away from the NICU.
I can not even imagine your feelings right now. I know that my story could have ended the same way yours did, and it makes my entire body hurt to have that thought. I have been thinking about you since Kevin told me of Luke's arrival, hoping and praying he would be strong and grow at his own pace in the NICU. I am so, so, sorry about your loss. I know Luke is with you still today and will be in your hearts forever. He will be watching you every day, sending hugs and kisses your way!! He knew you were with him, holding him gently in your arms, when he passed and, most importantly, Luke knew his mommy and daddy loved him very much!
All My Love-Jessica Walker
