Dad, I cannot believe it has been 15 years since you crossed over to Heaven. Still think about you every single day. I know you are now with Mom and I know Joyce is with you. I miss all 3 of you so much! It still hurts so deeply and I still cry tears for you. I look at your chair hoping that I see you there. I love when you come to visit me and talk to me. I know you are watching over me. These past 10 months have been so difficult but I know that Joyce is with both of you so that does give my comfort. I just miss your laugh, your hugs and your wisdom. You were one of the smartest people I ever met. You taught me so much but the most important were to honor the Lukacsko name, never change it and to remember to laugh each and every day! Although I have not laughed much since Joyce crossed over, I am learning to do it again! My life is changing so much and so quickly. I know you are with me & support me as always! It helps a lot knowing you are there. Never doubt what a great Dad you were because you are the best. I thank God every morning in my prayers for blessing me with you and Mom as my earthly parents. I love you Pop! Always and forever. In a blink of an eye!

Daddy, by now you know that Joyce is with you and Mom in Heaven. I hurt Daddy, my heart is in a zillion pieces. I did everything I could to keep her here but she went to Heaven anyway. I wish you were here to hold me and to kiss my head and to make it all better. It hurt when you left to be with Mom but not like this hurts. I miss her so much Dad, so much. What do I do now?? Please be with me and help me get through it. I know I am strong and will be OK but I just hurt so bad. Keep her close to you Daddy, your baby girl has come home to you.

Hey Dad, I was thinking about you today like I do every day. I just wanted you to know how much I love and miss you. I knew you were the best when you were here and now that you are gone, I know that even more. I thank God each day for you being my Dad. Even though I didn't always agree with you or see eye to eye with you, now that I am older, I love you even more for who you were. You really were the best Dad that anyone could have had and I was so lucky that you were mine. I know it was not easy being a Dad but you need to know and I need to tell you that you were the best. I thank God each and every day for you and for the lessons that you taught me. You were wise beyond your years. Be a peace. Be with Mom, Oma, Opa, Grandpa, Grandma and Gigi. Watch over me from heaven. Please know that I am OK, I am happy and I am not alone. One day we will be together again. As you told Mom, in a blink of an eye, we will be together again. I love you Dad! Love, Debbie

Dad- I can't believe it has been a year since you went to be with Mom in Heaven. You left us so suddenly, we never even had time to say good-bye. The world is not the same without you. You were the best Dad that anyone could have had. I will always honor your memory. I miss you more today than yesterday but not as much as I will miss you tomorrow. I really miss all of our talks even though it would make me mad that you were always right! I remember all the fun, and laughing that we had together. I am glad that you were able to be with us after Mom went to Heaven so that we could be together in your last days. Who knew that they would be so few! I know that you are where you want to be, next to Mom. I know that Mom came for you on the night you crossed over because you died with a smile on your face! Be happy and be at peace. Know that we are all OK, but we all miss you so very much! Until we meet again in Heaven, please watch down over us. Give Mom a big kiss from us because we know that forever you are inseperable. Watch for me when it is my time to cross over as I will be looking for you. I love you daddy!

Jim (Dad), I just can't believe it. I don't want to believe it but I know you are in a better place. With the love of your life Lotte. I miss her too. I just wish I could have told you too one more time that I loved you. You were an awsomely funny person. You always had a funny word and a laugh for me every time we talked. I never forget the fun times we had in Florida with Lotte and you and Joy and Debbie and Christian. We are sad in our hearts but know that you are smiling. I know you are with the Lord now and couldn't be in a better place. I'll meet you one day when it's my turn and give you a big hug. I love you Jim and will miss you. The fond memories will always be carried in my heart and mind. God Bless you! love Karen and Christian

Dad, I miss you so much. I look at your empty chair every night and my heart aches. I know that you are with mom in heaven. Not one day went by that you did not cry for her. You left us so quickly. It is hard to believe that you are gone. I wish I could have that moment back so I could tell you how much I love you. I will forever miss your laugh. You always knew the importance of a good laugh. I will miss everything about you. Everything I am, or could ever hope to be, came from you and mom. Your love for us was never ending. I know that that love survives. Remember, in a blink of an eye, we will be together again. All my love, forever

Dad - I miss you so much! Believe it or not, I even miss your singing! I know that you are where you want to be and that is next to mommy. I know in my heart that you are happy again to be with your "only love" for all eternity. I just wish that the pain in my heart wasn't so sharp or so strong. I try to think of the two of you back together but it still hurts so much! You were the best dad that any girl could have wanted. Never doubt that you were the best because you were. Yes, you were strict and as I grew I learned that this was only an extension of your love. Your love was always there for me, no matter what I did or said. I always knew that I could come to you and mom for anything and that you both would always be there for me. We may not have always agreed on everything but we always knew that our love for each other was present and unyielding. Dad, you raised me to look at all sides of an issue. You made sure I knew that there was more than one side and that it wasn't necessarily my side that was right! Most importantly, you taught me to be able to laugh! You had this remarkable ability to come up with one-liners that would make me smile, no matter my mood (and between us, I can be very moody!!) You taught me to not always take life so seriously and to make sure that laughter was a part of my day, even if it ment laughing at myself! You were the smartest man that I ever met. You ability to remember facts, details and history always and still do amaze me. You also taught me that all the letters after your name and all the degrees mean little if you lack common sense. Dad, may your soul be at peace. May you spend eternity with mom. Know that you are missed and will be missed until the day my own heart stops to beat. Look for me on that day! We will all be together again one day in the Kingdom of God...all of us. "In a blink of an eye," as you always told mom. I love you dad!
