Susan

Hi Williams family,

I met Luke through community Cenacolo. My brother Peter was in community with Luke. Luke was an absolute joy and I am saddened that is no longer on earth. However, I was filled with joy thinking about him and praying for you all today as I went about getting snickers to our altar servers. I brought a bag full of Snickers to Saint Benedict  Catholic Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am sure random acts of kindness and fun have been done all over the world in memory of Luke. What a wonderful tribute and such love you have for your brother. God bless you all, Susan MacNeil

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Susan! God bless, the Williams Family

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. We were waiting for our flight when midnight came, and I got a chance to go off by myself for awhile and talk to Luke.

We p...
