Luke Rock
Luke's dad has made two of these. One for his mom (me) and one for himself. Mine has Luke's dates on the back. It is perfect for gripping and running my thumb over it. I find it very soothing. He made this for me about 1 month after Luke died.

Hummingbird
This is a etched glass piece Luke's dad made for his mom for Chirstmas of 2011. It is the same design Luke's dad has for his tattoo, it says "William Lucas" in the feathers.
This beautiful collage was made by Luke's Aunt Mandy for my Birthday. We look at it everyday, and think of him.
Janice

Junell and Luke
Janice (with some help from her family) made this wonderful collage of photos to hang in Junell's room. The colors match Junell's room and include some of her favorite things: butterflies, the color pink, and her family (lots with her little brother Lukey). It is a treasure that is deeply cherished!

Luke's Memorial Stone
Luke's dad engraved Luke's stone, he used Luke's handprints (taken November 22nd) to put them on the marbel stone along with how we all feel - Luke is "forever in our hearts".
If you look on the top you can see a hummingbird Luke's poppy put there.
Luke's dad and grandpa Gary poured the decorative concrete the stone is set in at Evergreen Cemetary (aka Beerman Creek Cemetary).
Luke's Aunts and Uncles

Magnolia Tree
This magnolia tree was purchased and planted in Luke's honor by his great aunts and uncles. It was picked because it flowers in June during Luke's birthday. We put Luke's memorial stone (that was temporarily in place at the cementary) near it and planted it at our house (where Luke lived).
It is a lovely tree for all of us to watch grow.

Angel Garden Bench
RDO mfg (Luke's mom extended work family) had an angel bench created in Luke's honor. It is at the Grant's home and is beautiful and very much appreciated.
The bench says "Welcome to my Garden" with "Luke Grant" on it.

Riding with Luke
Fabulous board created by Barney's very talented uncle Curt. He built it using many items from Barney's childhood as well as some of Luke's things (such as a boot, hat, and rattle). There are also many photos and details full of love. Such a treasure!

Temporary headstone
Luke's grandpa (along with help from his / our good friend Randy) made Luke's temporary headstone in time for his graveside service.
