Hi Frank Hamlin. This is Kelly, Luke´s mom. I tried posting a message on this platform with my phone number but I guess that´s not allowed. Not sure how to get in touch with you regarding Luke´s Bible.

We have Luke’s Bible, presented by his parents Joe & Kelly in 2011. Long story on how we got it, but would like to return to family.

When you see the sunrise, think of me.
When the cool breeze touches you,
Know that I am free
when you feel the sorrow
of us being apart,
Know I am not lost
I am a part of your heart.

Luke,
Thank you for your presence and influence upon my life. I am always thinking about you and the lessons you continue to teach me as I listen to your wisdom. Nancy

Remember me
To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, they were cheated.
But to the joyful, I am at peace.
And to the faithful, I never left.
I cannot speak, but I will listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore,
Gazing at a beautiful sea...
Remember me
As you look in awe at a mighty
Forest and its grand majesty...
Remember me
As you look upon a flower and
Admire its simplicity...
Remember me
Remember me in your heart, your thoughts,
Remember the close, loving times we shared;
The times we cried; the times we quarreled;
The times we laughed.
For in these times that you gently remember me...
I am not gone.
Luke my only son, I wish I could have taken away your pain and the judgements you experienced in this world. I will miss your smile, your love, and your bear hugs my friend. I wish we could go on one more motorcycle ride, one more hike, and see one more movie together. But no more...now you are finally free. I love you and miss you so much it hurts. Dad

Luke, my heart continues to break. After our many talks about taking the best route, I am heartbroken that you chose this one. I will never forget our lengthy conversations, your servant heart, and our laughing out loud together...I will always remember our laughs. I know you are now living with our Savior. As I try to remember that I will never forget you here as long as I live. You smile and laugh makes me laugh between my cries. I miss you son more than you know, and trying to hide it from your Mom is hard! PS: You know she tries to hide it from me but I know, just as you would. I'm anxious knowing this world is nothing but a blinking of an eye to see you again son. I love and miss you terribly.

To all of Luke's Family, it was shocking to hear of the loss of Luke. I had the privilege of meeting him several times on visits to Colorado -- once we were both guests at the home off Brian and Kristen. My condolences to all of you and I pray that God will bring comfort to your grieving hearts. How wonderful it is to know that Luke is now with the Lord and that we will see him again.
May 1, 2015
Luke, I can remember the day you were born. I was so excited to be an Aunt! And you did not disappoint, you were such a cute, cuddly, loving little boy. When you became a young man, you were always, kind and considerate...at family gatherings you forgot you were a guest and would be helping me in the kitchen. I think of you everyday and miss you terribly. I am so grateful we had these last few years with you in Colorado. You were an awesome Grandson, Son and Nephew and we were so blessed to have you as long as we did. You truly were a "gift" on loan to us from God. Love you sweet boy, Auntie Kristen

All we know is that God is so good...all the time. We have fond memories of your family in Italy. Luke is no longer suffering. May the God that is forever holding Luke's hand, now hold yours during this difficult time. We love you and miss you!

Dear Betty, Glen, Neil and Lelan. While I do not know Luke I feel I did because Betty loved him so much. I am really sorry to hear of his passing. I know this is a very difficult time but the awesomeness of being loved by our Lord is he was not alone even in the end because Jesus promises us He will be with us always even unto the end of the earth. I pray you will find comfort in knowing you are in our thoughts and prayers and Luke is really in a better place even if we don't understand things. I am sure he is finding peace, joy and understanding with our Lord.

Son I miss you immensely! You brought so much laughter and joy to my life. I am honored to be your mother and to have been given the opportunity to love on you and care for you. You were always God's child I took care of and am at peace knowing He is loving on you in person now. I praise God your struggles and suffering are over and you are singing praises to Jesus. Save a seat for us at the banquet table for the wedding feast with Jesus. Can't wait to see your beautiful joyful smile again, hear you laugh, and hug you again. Love you son, now and for eternity.
