Being a part of the Luca John Foundation since it began, I have seen and participated in the support of families that are experiencing tragedy in their lives due to the sudden (and often time) unexpected loss of a child. Helping families deal with this grief, and enabling the memorializing of the lost child with dignity, is in my mind a great "ministry" to be a part of. I intend tio continue to further dedicate my time and resources to growing this great foundation.
