To the Baker & Case Family:
Sorry for your loss. The young man was way too young.
Kerry & Gena: This is not natural. One NEVER gets used to outliving a child. One only learns to live with it one day at a time. Use this loss for the betterment of mankind. I'm sure, from knowing his ancestors, this is what he would want to be done.
Look up the Stuart Hamblin song "Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bocquet" It gives great comfort at this time, when one sees the young as a rosebud which, in this life, never reached full blossom; but, does eternally in Heaven in the Master's Bocquet.

When I think of Luke I see a great smile & huge heart. Luke was like a part of our family and I can't imagine life without this Sweet Spirited young man coming thru the front door. I will alway carry a special place in my heart for Luke Baker.
For the Baker Family I'm so sorry for your loss. God had a plan for Luke that called him home so suddenly. One day we will all see Luke again. Until that day let's keep his memories close & Celebrate the time he was with us. I love you Luke Baker and I'm thankful for the times you shared with all of us! RIP Precious friend.
I am praying for strength, comfort and peace for Luke's loved ones. May you feel the loving arms of our Heavenly Father as He carries you through the days ahead. Hold them close, Lord. You know their needs, and we thank you for fulfilling them as only You can.
Love in Christ.
