My lil brother was so rare he was always there for many no matter who they were if he could help he was doing it, we always talked on the phone and made it a point to reach out to one another if to much time went by, he was my baby brother and I love ❤️ him so much, my heart is so 💔 broken over the loss of him, but trust this he is with mom and dad now and they will be looking over me and janet and Yale and our families with no doubt. I remember my lil brother calling me when he was alittle drunk talking about coming to visit me and saying he was gonna show the country girls what a true good looking man was , a northern man. I laughed so hard and told him no because the girls down hear would see him as fresh meat and I would be fighting them away his whole visit, we just laughed about it, but most of all since we lost our mom and dad he was my rock, my go to talk to person and he would always listen and offer advice. I am gonna miss my baby brother so much. Love you Lucas forever and always. Love your oldest sister
