Erica's friends


Luke's birthday was celebrated in many different areas of the country.  Here are some from Maryland.


Jessica, thank you for taking gatorade to your police station!


Lynne took her kids to church and prayed the rosary.  Thank you so much! Your prayers for us are felt and appreciated.

Michele sent a donation to one of the charities we mentioned.  That means a lot to us, thank you!

Beth sent something to Luke's fiancee, Desiree.  That is so thoughtful! I'm sure it is comforting to her to have Luke's birthday remembered and celebrated.

Rebecca played cards with her mom in memory of Luke.  That is so awesome! Playing games as a family is something we will always cherish.  Thank you!

Hi, I'm Grace, the 7th sibling in the Williams family. I thought I'd share a little of what we did yesterday in honor of Luke. Soon we will post some of the awesome things other people did as well!  I started off Luke's birthday in the Chicago O'Hare airport, on my way back from visiting my sister Laura.
