Luke Lives On

TODAY'S BLOG IS DEDICATED TO LUKAS DUNPHY...... I DON'T KNOW LUKE BUT HEARD ABOUT HIS STORY AND IT TOUCHED ME IN SUCH A WAY THAT MOVED ME TO DEDICATE TODAY'S BLOG TO HIS MEMORY. ON FRIDAY, JULY 18TH 2008 AROUND 2:30 PM LUKE WAS KILLED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT. RIDING MOTORCYCLES WAS A HOBBY AND A LOVE OF HIS. PRIOR TO HIS PASSING LUKE HAD LEARNED OF A GIRL IN NEED OF A KIDNEY. ON JULY 15, 2008 LUKE WENT TO THE UCLA MEDICAL CENTER TO BEGIN THE PAPERWORK PROCESS OF BECOMING A DONOR. THREE DAYS LATER HE PASSED. AS TRAGIC AS HIS ENDING IS......IT IS ALSO A BLESSING TO KNOW THAT IN HIS DEATH HE WAS ABLE TO GIVE LIFE! In addition to his kidneys- other organs were also donated. HIS FAMILY HAS CREATED A WEBSITE (www.lukeliveson.com) FOR HIS LOVED ONES TO VISIT. HERE THEY CAN VIEW PICTURES OF LUKE IN ALL PHASES OF HIS LIFE AND IN HIS HAPPIEST MOMENTS. MESSAGES, WELL WISHES, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS CAN ALSO BE POSTED. I DIDN'T KNOW LUKE BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW SOMEONE PERSONALLY TO BE AFFECTED BY THIER LIFE OR THIER STORY. HIS DEATH IS JUST A REMINDER THAT WE MUST EMBRACE LIFE, HAVE FUN EVERYDAY AND MAKE YOUR MOMENTS MATTER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. LAUGH, SMILE, PLAY, BE ADVENTUROUS, TAKE RISKS, HUG SOMEONE, TELL SOMEONE WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL, LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST........... IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS AND/OR PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY AND LOVED ONES OF LUKE- visit www.lukeliveson.com AND LEAVE YOUR FOOTPRINTS. THANK YOU!
