Lucas Michael Dicely

January 25, 2018

Lucas Michael Dicely was welcomed into Heaven by God, his Grandpa Dicely and his other family members that have gone before him.

He is also survived by his aunts, Emma Rife and Amanda Pugliese and by Lucas’ puppy, Miss Sadie “Bear” Dicely.

To the Dicely family. We do not know each other but I wanted to send you my condolences. I, along with my husband, had to bury our son when he was six weeks old. The reason why I am telling you this is because we can relate to how you are feeling – sad, numb and confused. My son would have turned 11 years old in December. Although it doesn’t seem possible today or tomorrow, you will get thru this. Be there for each other, cry, scream and pray. Lucas is a beautiful baby. I will pray for you and your family to stay especially strong for the next few weeks. I am so sorry for your loss!  If you would like to talk, please feel free to contact me. Deb Alvord
