On Tuesday, February 19 at 11:14 am, Will and I welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world - Luke Thomas Timmerman. He was 5 lbs. 1 oz., 19 inches long and had dark hair like his mom. Sadly, Luke had passed away the Sunday earlier because the umbilical cord had wrapped around our son's tiny little leg. We would like to think that if Luke had anything to do with it, he would be here with us today, our strong little fighter. Luke has his mom's feet - and they were really big! Luke also has his mom's hands and his dad's forehead, nose and ears. Will and I have never been so proud to meet such a tiny person, and are so happy that we have a son. He is our little boy up in heaven and we can't wait to one day be able to hold him again. Until then, he will be a part of our daily lives and Will and I are so much happier for having met him.Luke's funeral will be Saturday, February 23 at 10:00am at St. Jane Frances de Chantel (Ryan Rd., between 16 & 17 Mile Rd.). Visitation will be at 9:30am. A private burial will follow at the cemetary.
Thank you to all of our family and friends for your support over the last several months. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we grieve the loss of our beautiful son, Luke.

Dear Liz and Will,
You and sweet Luke Thomas are in my prayers and thoughts now. I wish I could hug you and be with you guys. Thank you for this blog. You warmed my heart with your stories and pictures. I'm going to Stations of the Cross tonight and will send up prayers for you and your angel. Christ had a hard road to his cross and this is a hard road for you two to trod. Liz, I can't help but think of "Joyce" in "Anne's House of Dreams." I hope those passages can be of help to you. They are sorrowful, but hopeful too. I miss you and hope to see you soon. And I've heard that Texas is a great place to visit too. :)
Your loving aunt,
Jeanette
Liz and Will,
I don't really know what to say. It was amazing the day that I met you in the NST. I loved talking to you and getting to know you. Reading your blog brings tears to my eyes. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I can't imagine the pain that you and your family are feeling. Just know that your son is dancing in heaven and will experience no pain like he would have here on earth. Lean on God and he will give you the strength to get through this. You are all in our prayers. I wish I could give you a hug and take away your pain. Please call or write me anytime.
