Happy 6th heavenly birthday Lucas. Love you always and forever. Mummy xxx

My beautiful boy. Not a day passes where we do not think of you. You would have been nearly 3 1/2 years old, and we would have been starting to think about you going to school in September. We will always think of you at every milestone and wonder what might have been. Love you loads my dearest angel xxx

Remembering the day you were born... I remember that exhilarating feeling of having done it...I had successfully delivered my baby and become a parent. It was my biggest achievement in life. I remember staring down at you in complete disbelief that I had made and brought such a beautiful thing into this world. It was the start of parenthood and what was to come was completely unknown. It was scary but also extremely exciting. That night in hospital I hardly slept. I lay there staring at your crib watching you sleep peacefully; looking forward to sharing you with all our friends and family. You were ours, we had a son... that day we became a three, we had became a family.

This charity feeds hungry children in the U.S., of which there are entirely too many, when there should be none. As I went to donate, and was asked if I wanted to do so in someone's memory, Lucas, and your entire lovely family, including, of course, Joel, came to me. With much love to each and all of you— Elena

A year to this day, our beautiful baby Grandson was taken From us through a horrible brain tumour., at just 2 month old. Never a day gone past since that I have not thought of you. Hope you have many little angel friends to play with in the woods Love you and miss very very much and hope to come vising you soon XXXX XXX

Thinking of you on this day, love Alexia xx

Tomorrow Mummy and Daddy will fit your memorial post, one month before what would have been your first birthday. It's truly beautiful we hope you like it. Lots of love, and see you tomorrow. Mummy xxx

You're always in my thoughts Lucas. Xx

Dear Little Lucas, wanted to tell you how much you touched my heart in your short time here. Think of you often, and so much more over the last couple of months since Jack arrived. Mostly during the night feeds when it feels like the rest of the world is fast asleep. I only met you twice but those memories of you make me love my own children that much deeper and make me appreciate what I have and how lucky every single day. I know this will never change now. You have made me appreciate life so much more than I ever did before. I wanted to thank you for that. Sending sleepy hugs and kisses from me and Jack xx

Nana and Grandad think of you everyday. Will come to see you soon Sleep well among all the beautiful flowers surrounding you all your other little friends

You are always in my thoughts Lucas. Lots of love to you xxx

Today is Mother's Day and for most mothers it is a day of celebration In the company of their child or children But for a few it is a time of loss and sadness for losing their little loved one Through dreadful illness, disease or accident If baby Lucas was here today, his mummy would have been one of the proudest mum on earth on this special day - "mothers day". His mummy and daddy would have been celebrating this day, taking him and showing him off to his nana, grandad and all. family and friends. But. It was not to be - its ok Lucas mummy and daddy is coming to visit you in your special place of rest We all love you, not a day goes past that we don't think of you.

Lucas at the Speed of Light (21/9/2015 - 9/11/2015) If, in stopping by, I were to ask you to give me what is best in us and if in giving me what is best, were to ask you to give nothing less or more than each particle of all love you possess, made manifest in eyes, in arms as you held me, if I were to ask you to love me knowing you were going to lose me, even if you were to going to lose me, and if you were to give me that, stretching your hearts so hard, despite pain, tender and sharp, stretching you far enough to follow me wherever it is I have gone, have had to go, then, wordless, I know. Knew you could. Did. Could grieve and give and give. How generous. How good. I asked, unspoken. Had to. Heard you answer. You showed me. I have known. However brief my visit, I have known love. Elena Alexander NYC

Lucas - so loved. Clair, I can't even begin to imagine how you have been feeling and coping the last few weeks. I hope today has been a beautiful celebration of Lucas, one filled with all the love that family and friends have for him and you. Thinking of you all, Katy, xxx

When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry, The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say, I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too, So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart. xxx

If new born babies could talk I wonder what Lucas would say. I think he would have enjoyed all the attention he got, especially from the pretty nurses. If he’d inherited an ounce of the strength his parents have shown over the last few months I think there are a few times he would have told us to pull ourselves together. He probably would have asked for a second helping at dinner. In Norfolk he would have been full of wonder at the world around him as it changed from summer to autumn. He definitely would have laughed his little heart out when he peed on his Dad in his bath. And he would say he felt a lifetime worth of love in seven short weeks. xxx

I had the absolute privilege of meeting Lucas when he was only a few weeks old. In my role as a photographer I've seen many newborn babies, but Lucas was so very very special. It's always incredible to capture images of a family as they welcome their child into the world, but when it is a friends child, they have a special place in my heart. Lucas, even more so. I've never met a baby so young who was so alert, so completely enthralled by everything going on around him and so completely transfixed by his mum and dad's gaze. My role was simply to try and capture the essence of little Lucas in the images I took. There was no effort required to capture that wonderful little personality. He was wide awake and staring at me as intently as he had been all day, and you just knew that little boy was taking in every second of what was going on. To hold little Lucas knowing the heartbreak you were going through and what he was facing was one of the hardest things I've ever done but likewise one of the biggest honours of my life. He is and was utterly perfect, his little face, his beautiful big eyes, his perfect fingers and his little webbed toes will be etched on my mind forever. Clair and Kez, my heart breaks for the loss of little Lucas, but to me, you are and always will be the beautiful family I photographed - a family of three, forever, even though Lucas had to leave you far too soon. No words can mend the heartbreak or express the complete sorrow we feel for you, but Lucas' memory will live on in everyone who was lucky enough to meet your beautiful son. All my love, rest in peace precious boy, your loss will be felt forever. Caroline, Peter and Theodore. xxxxx

"If Love could have saved you, Then you would have lived forever." Dad xxx

"The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to." Mummy x

We hope that you find this tribute to Lucas Alleebux a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
